Hwasun-gun Promotes 'Energy Efficiency Improvement Project' for Low-Income Households

[Hwasun=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Ji-woon] On the 14th, Hwasun-gun, Jeollanam-do announced that it will promote an energy efficiency improvement project for low-income households to enhance energy welfare for energy-vulnerable groups.

The improvement project supporting air conditioner installation targets households receiving the National Basic Livelihood Security, near-poverty households, and low-income households in welfare blind spots recommended by local government heads.

Households wishing to apply for the project can visit the Eup/Myeon Administrative Welfare Center and apply by the 8th of next month.

The number of projects allocated to the county this year is 12 households, and if selected as a support target after screening by the Korea Energy Foundation, the full cost of installing a wall-mounted air conditioner will be covered by national funds.

However, households eligible for repair and maintenance benefits under the Housing Benefit Act, households with support history within the last two years, households with air conditioners manufactured within the last eight years already installed, and households deemed unsuitable for air conditioner installation environments are excluded from support.

A county official said, “Through the energy efficiency improvement project for low-income households, it is expected to enhance energy welfare for energy-vulnerable groups by preventing heatstroke and heat-related illnesses during the summer heatwave.”

For more details, contact the Eup/Myeon Administrative Welfare Center or the Energy Industry Team of the County Office Job Policy Office.
