[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Sinan-gun, Jeonnam, classified as a local population extinction area, is achieving success in attracting young people through the revision of the 'Ordinance on Sharing the Benefits of Renewable Energy Development.'

According to the county on the 29th, the civilian-military cooperative for renewable energy, in accordance with the 'Sinan-gun Ordinance on Sharing the Benefits of Renewable Energy Development,' has paid the profits from four solar power projects, starting with Anjwa-do and Jara-do in April and extending to Jido in November, to about 6,500 island residents.

In particular, regarding the criteria for solar profit dividends, there was previously a one-year grace period for youths under 30 years old upon moving in, but with this ordinance revision, youths under 40 years old can receive solar pensions immediately upon moving in, establishing an institutional basis for creating a 'Sinan where youth return.'

Currently, only residents of Anjwa-do, Jara-do, and Jido enjoy benefits ranging from 110,000 to 510,000 KRW per person, but when solar power plants are built next year in Sasok-do, Imja, and Jeungdo, and in 2023 in Bigeum and Sinui, more county residents are expected to benefit, and population inflow is also anticipated to increase.

Additionally, the villages receiving solar profit dividends will be marked on a map of Jido and classified by island, with plans to create a Sinan-gun renewable energy pension map so that young people moving in can easily identify them at a glance.

Sinan-gun and the county council, together with the civilian-military cooperative, plan to implement effective policies to overcome the population decline crisis by providing 100% solar pensions to youths who actually move in, as well as promoting the renewable energy development benefit-sharing policy to directly support county residents.
