RE100 (Renewable Energy 100) is a campaign in which companies commit to using 100% of the electricity they need from eco-friendly renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.

About 20 officials from related organizations including Pyeongtaek City, Pyeongtaek Regional Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Office, Pyeongtaek Office of Education, Korea Electric Power Corporation Pyeongtaek Branch, Pyeongtaek Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Pyeongtaek Industrial Complex Corporation, as well as representatives from the Sustainable Development Research Institute, the agency conducting the project, attended the kick-off meeting held that day.

The main research contents include ▲ environmental analysis for promoting RE100 in Pyeongtaek City ▲ development of RE100 models tailored to regional characteristics such as enterprises, public sector, citizens, and ports ▲ establishment of linkage plans between major energy projects and RE100 implementation, with the research project scheduled to be completed by the end of July.

Separately, the city is conducting surveys on the current status of renewable energy supply in the private sector such as residential and commercial buildings, and the public sector including public offices, as well as investigating possible shared sites for renewable energy installation targeting public institutions. The city plans to reflect the survey results in the research project to establish promotion strategies for expanding the supply of new renewable energy.
