[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] On the 21st, Jeonnam Sinan-gun (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced that it held a completion ceremony for the district-level LPG pipeline support project in Jido-eup on the 20th.

The completion ceremony held at the traditional market in Jido-eup was attended by 90 people, including Governor Park Woo-ryang, Kim Hyuk-seong, chairman of the county council, Kim Moon-soo, Jeollanam-do council member, Lee Eun-kyung, secretary-general of the Korea LPG Pipeline Project Group Foundation, and residents, while strictly adhering to the level 2 social distancing quarantine rules elevated due to the recent spread of COVID-19.

The district-level LPG pipeline support project is a project that supplies LPG gas to each household through LPG storage facilities and underground pipelines, providing safety and convenience at the level of city gas.

The Sinan-gun LPG pipeline project was established targeting about 1,100 households in 17 villages, including Eupnae-ri in Jido-eup, with a total project cost of 19.3 billion KRW.

The households can save more than 40% of fuel costs compared to using existing LPG cylinders, and can use more modernized gas facilities such as gas boilers, metal pipe replacement, and alarm installation.

In addition, a care service is provided that allows real-time monitoring of gas usage through wireless-connected gas meters for each household, enabling welfare checks for high-risk solitary elderly.

Governor Park Woo-ryang said, “I believe that the opening of the Jido-eup LPG pipeline will greatly help improve residents’ fuel usage environment and resolve energy welfare imbalance,” and added, “We will continue to promote the LPG pipeline project in unserved areas within the jurisdiction to strengthen energy welfare.”
