[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Ulsan Metropolitan Office of Education is participating in a public contest for the Ministry of Environment subsidy support project in collaboration with private charging operators to establish electric vehicle charging facilities in 107 schools by the end of this year.


On the 1st, the Office of Education selected Daeyoung Chaebi as the private charging operator through proposal evaluation and successfully held a project briefing session attended by about 90 related personnel from around 80 schools.


Three companies, including L Corporation and H Corporation, gave proposal presentations during the evaluation, and Daeyoung Chaebi was finally selected through direct voting by school officials. They will jointly participate with the Ulsan Office of Education in the Ministry of Environment subsidy support project (Korea Automobile Environment Association brand project).


This is the first case nationwide among metropolitan and provincial offices of education to induce private investment, where the public and private sectors cooperate to collectively supply and install a large-scale number of electric vehicle chargers in 107 schools.


Each school is expected to have one or two slow chargers installed, and Daeyoung Chaebi will be obligated to operate and manage the chargers for five years.


The Ulsan Office of Education expects that Daeyoung Chaebi, a private charging solution company that manufactures, supplies, manages, and operates electric vehicle chargers, will provide high-quality charging services.


The charging facilities in the 107 schools will be established solely with the Ministry of Environment subsidy and private investment funds, enabling the Office of Education to save about 1 billion KRW in budget.


An official from the city education office said, “By inducing competition among private charging operators, we achieved a triple effect of budget savings, high-quality service, and reduction of school administrative work. If the project proceeds successfully, the large-scale supplied charging facilities will be available not only to school staff but also to local residents, playing an important role in the distribution and expansion of eco-friendly vehicles.”
