By expanding the supply of renewable energy for four consecutive years, an eco-friendly energy self-reliance foundation is being established, significantly reducing the economic burden on local residents.

The Renewable Energy Supply Convergence Support Project supports the installation of self-consumption solar power and solar thermal facilities in houses and buildings in specific areas. Installing a 3 kW solar power system can reduce electricity bills by 40,000 to 50,000 KRW per month on average, which has received great response from residents.

This year, the project is being promoted with a total budget of 3 billion KRW targeting Samsan, Hwasan, Hyonsan, Bukpyeong, Bukil, and Okcheon, installing 391 solar power sites with 1,173 kW capacity and 56 solar thermal sites covering 571.2㎡.

A county official stated, “Next year, we plan to apply for an advanced project covering the entire Haenam-gun area,” adding, “We will do our best to ensure the project is widely selected.”
