Achievement of 4 Consecutive Years Selected During the 7th Term of Elected Administration
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Geochang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 5th that it has been selected for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's '2022 Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project'.
With this, County Governor Gu In-mo achieved the accomplishment of being selected for the project for four consecutive years during the 7th local government term.
The Renewable Energy Convergence Support Project involves installing two or more types of renewable energy facilities (such as solar power, solar heat, geothermal) in areas and villages where residential, public, and commercial (industrial) buildings coexist, thereby expanding resident-participatory energy self-sufficiency.
The county plans to carry out the project with a total budget of 2.9 billion KRW, including 1.3 billion KRW in national funds selected through the competition, from January to October 2022 in 305 locations across 28 villages in Geochang-eup, Namha-myeon, Gajo-myeon, and Gabuk-myeon, installing 1,166 kW of solar power, 408㎡ of solar heat, and 123 kW of geothermal capacity.
In 2023, the county plans to actively discover competitive projects targeting Jusang, Ungyang, Goje, Buksang, Wicheon, and Mari-myeon to contribute to balanced regional energy development in the western and northern areas of Geochang and realize energy welfare in rural areas, thereby establishing the identity of Geochang-gun as an energy self-sufficient city.
