Wando-gun Accelerates LPG Supply to Island Villages... Gas Supply Begins in Deokudo, Saengil-myeon

Creating a Safe and Affordable Energy Usage Environment

Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, completed the project and started gas supply on Deokudo Island in Saengil-myeon after its "Island Village Unit LPG Facility Construction" was selected in last year's Ministry of the Interior and Safety public contest.

According to the county on the 19th, the Island Village Unit LPG Facility Construction project involves installing LPG storage tanks, piping networks, gas boilers, and safety devices in island areas where fuel supply is vulnerable.

After holding a residents' briefing session earlier this year, the county invested a total project cost of 1.06 billion KRW, began construction in March, and has been supplying gas to 69 households since July.

With the completion of the project, long-term gas supply is possible through large LPG storage tanks, which is expected to reduce transportation costs and provide a fuel usage environment with safety and convenience comparable to city gas.

The county is currently supplying gas by installing LPG facilities in Geumdang Ulpo, Cheongsan Moseo·Modong, and Bogil Yejak, and plans to sequentially promote the Island Village Unit LPG Facility Construction project on Soan Hoenggan, Cheongsan Yeoseo, and Gunoe Sahudo by 2026.

Heo Dong-jo, head of the Economic Transportation Division, said, "The construction of LPG facilities will greatly improve the living conditions of island village residents," and added, "We will expand the island area LPG facility construction project through continuous consultations with central government ministries."
