[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters recently finalized the 2023 local support project plan.

First, Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters announced the results of the '2023 Business Support Project' contest on the official website of Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters.

The 'Business Support Project' is a program where nuclear power operators allocate a certain amount of support funds based on power generation to support projects aimed at revitalizing the local economy, improving the environment, and enhancing welfare in nearby areas.

This year, the budget for the Business Support Project at Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters is a total of 9.82 billion KRW, combining this year's budget of 8.02 billion KRW and a carryover budget of 1.8 billion KRW, with a final selection of 286 projects.

Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters conducted the contest starting from August last year, receiving a total of 389 project applications amounting to 20.5 billion KRW. Subsequently, a fair and transparent review was conducted in three stages: the first business office review committee, the second Gijang-gun regional committee consultation, and the third headquarters review committee evaluation.

The review results and detailed information are available for viewing on the Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters website.

For the finally selected projects, notifications will be sent via text message and mail, and detailed explanations about the projects will be provided through individual visits.

Additionally, Gori Nuclear Power Headquarters implements an electricity bill subsidy program for residential and industrial electricity customers located within a 5 km radius from the power plant, including the same administrative district, in accordance with the Act on Support for Areas Surrounding Power Plants.

This year's budget for the electricity bill subsidy program is set at 3.2 billion KRW, and residents in the relevant areas such as Jangan-eup and Ilgwang-eup will receive a fixed monthly electricity bill subsidy per household.

Residents can check the subsidy amount in the power plant support fund section of the electricity bill statement issued by Korea Electric Power Corporation.
