[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Haeyoung] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power announced on the 31st that it will promote a small-scale urban distributed fuel cell project with Changwon City.


This project involves installing and operating a small-scale hydrogen fuel cell system, an eco-friendly distributed energy source. It has the advantage of producing and supplying energy without the need for large-scale sites, grid connections, or infrastructure construction.


According to the joint development agreement signed by KHNP, Changwon City, SK Ecoplant, Gyeongnam Energy, and Bukyung Environmental Technology, small-scale urban distributed fuel cell systems will be distributed and installed at eight idle sites within Changwon City. Construction will begin in August next year, and after completion in the second half of 2023, approximately 150,000 MWh of electricity will be produced and supplied annually.



Jung Jaehoon, President of KHNP, stated, "Through this project that leverages the inherent strengths of hydrogen fuel cells as distributed power sources, we will create a model case of a community-friendly distributed energy system."
