Daegu Dong-gu Office to Install Solar Power and Solar Thermal Facilities in 82 Houses Next Year... Monthly Electricity Bill Reduced by 70,000 Won

Daegu Dong-gu Office (Mayor Yoon Seok-jun) has been selected for the second consecutive year in 2024 for the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's public project, the '2024 New Renewable Energy Convergence and Complex Support Project,' following 2023.

With this selection, Daegu Dong-gu Office secured 300 million KRW in national funding (100 million KRW in city funding), and in 2024, it is investing 660 million KRW to promote solar power and solar thermal projects in 82 houses and 1 building.

Solar power facilities installed on the rooftops of houses in Dong-gu, Daegu.

An official from Daegu Dong-gu Office stated, “For a house with a monthly electricity usage of 400 kW, the installation cost for a 3 kW solar power system is 6 million KRW, of which about 1.55 million KRW (26%) must be self-funded. After installing the solar power facility, the monthly average electricity bill of 85,500 KRW is reduced by 74,500 KRW, so only 11,000 KRW needs to be paid.”

This year, Daegu Dong-gu Office is conducting projects in 247 houses and buildings with a total budget of 2.1 billion KRW, including 1 billion KRW in national funding, installing solar power in 198 locations, solar thermal in 37, and geothermal in 12.

Yoon Seok-jun, Mayor of Daegu Dong-gu Office, said, “We will continue to do our best to expand the distribution of new renewable energy for the energy welfare and energy independence of Dong-gu residents.”
