[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] On the 9th, Hamyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced that it has paid incentives for the first half of the year to 516 households that reduced electricity usage among 2,580 households enrolled in the Carbon Point Program.

The Carbon Point Program is a voluntary citizen participation greenhouse gas reduction system that grants carbon points twice a year, in the first and second half of the year, based on the amount of greenhouse gas reduction achieved by reducing electricity consumption in homes, commercial establishments, and apartment complexes, and provides corresponding incentives (up to 2 KRW per point).

Households wishing to enroll in the Carbon Point Program can apply year-round by signing up on the Carbon Point Program website or by visiting the Environmental Sanitation Division of the county office or the nearest eup/myeon administrative welfare center.

Residents of houses must register their electricity bill customer number upon enrollment, and apartment residents can verify through the combined management fees.

Seo Gil-won, head of the Environmental Sanitation Division, said, “Participation from non-industrial sectors such as households and commercial areas is essential for effective greenhouse gas reduction,” and added, “We ask for the active participation of Hamyang residents in the Carbon Point Program, where the money saved is returned to them.”
