Gurye-gun Launches Full-Scale Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project

340 Billion Won Invested, Solar Power and Solar Heat Installed at 373 Sites by October

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim Soon-ho) announced on the 1st that it was selected for the "Renewable Energy Supply Convergence Support Public Contest Project" hosted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy last year, securing a final project budget of 3.4 billion KRW including national and provincial subsidies, and will officially begin installation work.

The Renewable Energy Supply Convergence Support Project is a project that supplies two or more types of renewable energy sources such as solar power and solar heat to houses, commercial buildings, and public institutions by integrating them. It contributes to expanding the government's renewable energy supply and reducing energy costs for local residents, thereby promoting energy welfare.

In January, the county signed a business agreement with the Korea Energy Agency and, through a consortium company, conducted on-site visits to 373 locations in Gurye-eup and Masan-myeon, the project target areas, to finalize installation sites.

The project is planned to be completed by October this year.

Governor Kim Soon-ho said, "The Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project is a good project that allows the installation of renewable energy facilities at a low cost with about 20% self-payment," adding, "By reducing energy costs through renewable energy facilities, it can lessen household expenses, so we plan to continuously expand the project so that more local residents can benefit."

Meanwhile, Gurye-gun is preparing a 3 billion KRW scale project targeting Gwangui-myeon and Sandong-myeon for next year's Renewable Energy Convergence Support Public Contest Project.
