Chungnam Supports Installation of 'Solar Power Facilities' at 135 Senior Centers

[Asia Economy (Hongseong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Chungnam Province will promote the installation project of solar power systems at senior centers this year.

According to the province on the 2nd, the project will support the installation of solar power facilities totaling 405 kW at 135 local senior centers.

The main goal is to support the installation of 3 kW solar power facilities in idle spaces to reduce the electricity bill burden of senior centers.

A total of 697 million KRW, including the provincial budget and city/county budgets, will be invested in the project. The support targets are senior centers located in 11 cities and counties, including Buyeo, Seosan, Gongju, Asan, and Geumsan.

The province expects that once the solar power facilities are installed, more than 60 million KRW in electricity costs can be saved annually.

Previously, from 2017 to last year, the province invested a total of 6.2 billion KRW to distribute 4,135 kW of solar power facilities to 1,325 senior centers in the province.

A provincial official said, “We will accelerate the installation of solar power systems so that seniors can spend this summer comfortably at the senior centers,” adding, “The province will continue to carry out various energy welfare projects for the elderly population in the province.”
