Held in Daegu for three days starting from the 14th, this expo is the largest exhibition in the domestic electric sector, serving as a platform to exchange future electric and power industry technologies and trends linked with the Internet of Things (IoT).

LH is participating in the expo for the first time this year and has opened a special pavilion. Here, LH introduces the directions for building carbon-neutral cities and hydrogen cities currently underway, along with achievements so far, through business explanations and purchase consultations.

The 'Special Pavilion' is composed of four themes: LH promotion, zero-energy specialized cities, energy specialization by district in the 3rd New Towns, and the LH-type future city vision and city-level power supply.

At the Zero-Energy Specialized City Pavilion, LH introduces sector-specific (architecture, urban, governance) strategies related to achieving a 50% energy self-sufficiency rate, which LH is promoting to spread zero-energy building adoption by the government and realize carbon neutrality by 2050.

At the Energy Specialization Pavilion by district of the 3rd New Towns, concepts of energy specialization for the 3rd New Towns such as Namyangju Wangsuk in Gyeonggi and Hanam Gyosan are explained. Various element technologies such as high-efficiency energy equipment, enhanced building insulation performance, solar parking lots, and hydrogen fuel cell power plants are also introduced.

Promotion of energy and power infrastructure projects that LH has been pursuing at the city level, such as transmission lines and combined heat and power plants, continues. Visitors can check the zero-energy city roadmap, hydrogen city construction, smart streetlights, electric vehicle charging facilities, and landscape lighting.

Finally, at the LH-type Future City Vision Pavilion, the vision of a nature-friendly and smart future urban space that LH aims to create is presented using media art technology.

Shin Kyung-chul, Head of LH’s Land and Urban Development Headquarters, said, "LH plays a pivotal role in implementing government policies such as promoting carbon-neutral cities," adding, "Through introducing and promoting the corporation’s work on energy and power infrastructure at this exhibition, we will establish a cooperative system with related organizations and take the lead in eco-friendly urban construction."
