[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, announced on the 3rd that it will implement energy-saving measures for public institutions from the fourth week of July to the third week of August, when a summer power peak is expected, to stabilize power supply and demand.

The city will focus on securing power supply stability by turning off unnecessary lighting, maintaining indoor temperatures at 27℃, and implementing sequential shutdowns of air conditioners during peak hours from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM.

On the other hand, schools, libraries, civil service offices, medical facilities, child and elderly welfare facilities, and public transportation facilities are designated as exceptions to the appropriate indoor temperature rule, allowing flexible application of energy-saving standards depending on users to ensure vulnerable groups can safely endure the summer heat.

Additionally, if the power supply reserve falls below 5.5GW this summer, an on-site response team will be operated to actively respond through crisis stage measures including preparation, interest, caution, alert, and severe.

A Jinju City official stated, “Public institutions will take the lead in promoting energy-saving tips in daily life, including practicing appropriate indoor temperatures during summer along with energy conservation,” and urged citizens to voluntarily participate.
