Gwangju Dong-gu, Urban Gas Connection in Seongyo-dong Natural Village

Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City announced that it has successfully completed the second phase of the natural village city gas supply project, 'City Gas Supply in the Seongyo-dong Area,' which is being promoted to resolve residents' long-standing demands, and will hold an opening ceremony on the 29th.

In 2021, Dong-gu signed an agreement with Marine Energy Co., Ltd. to supply city gas to natural villages, investing a total project cost of 4.2 billion KRW to supply city gas to ▲Phase 1 Hwasan Village with 30 households (completed in 2022) ▲Phase 2 Seongyo-dong Village with 67 households (completed in February 2022) ▲Phase 3 Yongyeon Village with 65 households (scheduled for June 2024).

To supply city gas to the natural village residents near urban development projects, which had been a long-standing demand, Dong-gu gathered public opinion through various channels such as residents' briefings and actively handled administrative procedures including permits related to pipeline construction, earning high praise from village residents for its proactive administration.

By closely cooperating with the implementing company Marine Energy and accelerating the project such as laying gas pipelines in the city gas supply sections, the project was smoothly promoted up to Phase 2 Seongyo-dong Village following Phase 1 Hwasan Village, meeting residents' expectations.

A Dong-gu official stated, "With city gas now supplied to natural villages that had been using LPG and diesel as household fuels, it is expected that fuel costs will be reduced and daily convenience greatly improved," adding, "We will also make every effort to promote the remaining Phase 3 Yongyeon Village city gas supply project."
