Yeoju Energy Service supports farmers facing difficulties due to the reduction in rice purchase prices by purchasing Yeoju Jinsangmi rice. Some of the purchased rice will be used to help neighbors in need.

On the 6th, Yeoju Energy Service announced that it held the 'Purchasing Yeoju Rice Together with Our Farmers' event in collaboration with Buknae Nonghyup in Yeoju City. Yeoju Energy Service and subsidiaries of SK E&S participated in this event, and some of the purchased rice will be delivered to neighbors in need within Yeoju City through the Yeoju Volunteer Center.

This rice purchase is expected to promote agricultural product consumption, increase farmers' income, and promote local agricultural products. In the future, they plan to continuously purchase local agricultural products to foster win-win cooperation with the local community.

Yeoju Energy Service, which began commercial operations in July this year, is located in the metropolitan area that accounts for 40% of domestic electricity demand. It stably produces electricity capable of supplying a total of 400,000 households, minimizing transmission losses in the metropolitan area.

Lee Jaewon, CEO of Yeoju Energy Service, stated, "I hope this purchase of Yeoju rice will provide some help to farmers facing difficulties," and added, "We will continue to contribute to the local community, develop trust relationships, and seek various ways to support the community."

Meanwhile, Yeoju Energy Service is making various efforts to coexist with the local community and resolve its difficulties, including support for marginalized groups, volunteer activities, school bus donations, and support for educational equipment in local schools.
