Challenge to be the Energy Saving King in Our Neighborhood, Seongbuk-gu!

Seongbuk-gu to Select 'Our Neighborhood Energy Saving King' Among Residents Practicing Energy Conservation in Summer 2021... Participation Applications Accepted from May 17 to June 18

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Seongbuk-gu (Mayor Lee Seung-ro) is selecting the ‘2021 Our Neighborhood Energy Saving King.’

Through this project, the district aims to evaluate electricity usage for applying households and promote a culture of voluntary energy saving.

The evaluation will be conducted by measuring electricity usage during the summer months with high electricity consumption from June to August. Among the applicants, 40 households with the lowest electricity usage will be selected as Energy Saving Kings, categorized according to family size.

The Energy Saving Kings will receive prizes worth 50,000 KRW (energy-saving related items). Additionally, all participants will be given an ‘energy-saving multi-tap’ as a souvenir to encourage energy-saving practices.

The results will be announced on the district office website after December 1.

Seongbuk-gu has been selecting ‘Our Neighborhood Energy Saving King’ since 2013. So far, a total of 258 Energy Saving Kings have been chosen. The average monthly electricity usage of households selected as Energy Saving Kings last year was 137 kWh, which is about half of the average monthly electricity usage of households in Seongbuk-gu.

Any Seongbuk-gu resident can participate in the ‘2021 Our Neighborhood Energy Saving King.’ To participate, applicants must register for the Seoul Eco Mileage System, which awards mileage points for saving energy at home, as it is essential for energy usage investigation.

Residents wishing to participate can fill out the application form posted on the Seongbuk-gu website and submit it by mail or visit the Seongbuk-gu Environmental Division. Applications can also be sent via email (imsse3634@sb.go.kr) or fax.

Lee Seung-ro, Mayor of Seongbuk-gu, stated, “We hope many residents who have their own energy-saving methods or wish to join energy-saving efforts will participate actively. We ask for your cooperation in widely spreading the culture of energy saving and creating a greenhouse gas-free Seongbuk.”
