Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power (President Hwang Su-ho) will hold the "2023 Safe Streetlight Plus Support Project Agreement Ceremony" at 12:00 on the 20th at the Komodo Hotel in Gyeongju.

The Safe Streetlight Plus Support Project is a representative social contribution project of Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, initiated in 2014 to ensure safe return paths for residents in crime-vulnerable areas. By 2022, a total of 2,854 safe streetlights were installed in 64 regions nationwide.

The agreement ceremony will also be attended by 11 selected local governments nationwide, including Yeongyang County, Busan City, and Ansan City.

Yeongyang County in Gyeongbuk was selected for the project and plans to install 15 "Smart Poles" and 30 LED security lights at Yeongyang Girls' High School and from Yonghwa 1-ri to 2-ri in Ilwol-myeon. Additionally, 20 beneficiaries will be selected for "low-income household living expense support," contributing to alleviating difficulties in vulnerable households within the county.

A Smart Pole refers to infrastructure equipped with information and communication technology (ICT) such as CCTV and intelligent lighting brightness systems installed on facilities like streetlights.

Yoon Sang-jo, Head of Planning at Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power, said, "The Safe Streetlight project, which brings light and hope to crime-vulnerable areas nationwide, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. This year, we will actively work to expand the project further to improve residents' nighttime walking environment and also help in practical crime prevention."

County Governor Oh Do-chang stated, "The installation of streetlights through this project is expected to enhance the walking safety of residents and reduce the risks of crime and accidents. We will ensure no disruptions during installation by providing prior notice and securing sufficient installation space, and we will also thoroughly manage maintenance afterward."
