Gurye-gun Solves Winter Fuel Issues in Dokja and Garang Villages

LPG Pipeline Supply to Villages Without City Gas

[Gurye=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yuk Miseok] Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 26th that it has completed the village-level LPG pipeline network construction project in Dokja Village, Gurye-eup, and Garang Village, Masan-myeon.

The LPG pipeline network construction project was promoted by Gurye-gun after being selected for the Jeollanam-do village-level LPG pipeline network construction project last year, with a total project cost of 900 million KRW, including 270 million KRW from the provincial government, 540 million KRW from the county government, and 90 million KRW in self-contributions.

A total of about 90 households, 60 households in Dokja Village, Gurye-eup, and 30 households in Garang Village, Masan-myeon, will receive stable LPG supply through the realization of energy welfare.

The rural village-level LPG supply project supports the installation of facilities such as small LPG storage tanks and supply pipelines in villages where city gas is not supplied, as well as the costs. It contributes to the safety of gas facilities in rural areas through modernization of gas facilities, including removal of old pipelines, replacement of metal pipelines, and installation of gas detectors and CO sensors. In particular, it is expected to achieve about 20-40% fuel cost savings compared to existing LPG cylinders and kerosene.

County Governor Kim Soon-ho said, “Recently, the rapid rise in fuel costs has caused many difficulties for households,” and added, “We will continuously discover and promote energy welfare projects and explore various ways to resolve energy imbalances in marginalized areas.”
