Gwangju Nam-gu Supports 2,600 Households with 'Low-NOx Boilers' This Year

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 23rd that it will actively promote the ‘2022 Residential Low-NOx Boiler Installation Support Project’ to improve energy efficiency and air quality.

According to Nam-gu, applications for the distribution of residential low-NOx boilers have been accepted since the 21st.

This year’s project budget is 310 million KRW, and Nam-gu plans to support the installation of low-NOx boilers in 100 low-income households and 2,500 general households within the district.

The project will continue until the allocated budget is exhausted. The support amount per household is 600,000 KRW in subsidies for low-income families and 100,000 KRW for general households.

Eligible applicants include any households that wish to install or replace residential low-NOx boilers after January 1 of this year, and tenants who have received delegation or consent from the homeowner can also apply.

Priority for subsidy support is given first to those replacing boilers that are over 10 years old, and second, support is provided on a first-come, first-served basis if the eligibility criteria are met.

Additionally, households that newly install boilers in private homes will be given third priority for support.

Public institutions and public facilities, as well as multi-family housing subject to housing construction project plan approval under the Housing Act among newly constructed buildings, are excluded from the support target.

For more detailed information, please refer to the notices on the Nam-gu Office website.

A Nam-gu official stated, “We will actively distribute low-NOx boilers, which have excellent reduction effects on pollutants such as nitrogen oxides, not only for energy efficiency but also to improve air quality in households within the district.”
