[Asia Economy Sejong=Reporter Dongwoo Lee] The Korea Energy Agency recently announced on the 14th that it conducted the 'Energy Diet 10 Street Campaign' to ensure stable energy supply and demand during the winter season.

This campaign, in collaboration with Korail and the Energy Citizens' Coalition, promoted winter energy-saving practices at major stations with high foot traffic such as Seoul Station, distributing winter items like knee blankets to encourage participation in energy saving during the winter.

'Energy Diet 10' aims to reduce energy consumption by 10% in response to the winter energy crisis. Specifically, it recommends maintaining an indoor temperature of 18~20℃ during winter and unplugging unused electronic devices. It also suggests using energy-saving products such as high-efficiency lighting like LEDs, thermal underwear, cardigans, and knee blankets. Additionally, it requests refraining from using electricity during peak hours.

The agency will continue nationwide campaigns by encouraging stores practicing energy saving in major commercial areas and providing energy-saving guidance to households through appliance installation technicians.

Lee Sang-hoon, the agency’s director, stated, "For stable energy supply this winter, it is essential that all citizens unite in efforts to save energy," adding, "We hope the public will join the Energy Diet by maintaining appropriate indoor temperatures and other measures to have a warm and healthy winter."
