Gwangju Nam-gu, Recruiting Companies to Participate in Renewable Energy Distribution Project

Nam-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, is publicly recruiting companies to participate in a consortium to promote a renewable energy supply project worth 3 billion KRW next year.

On the 9th, Nam-gu announced, "As the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is conducting a nationwide public contest for local governments for the '2025 Renewable Energy Supply Project,' we are accepting business proposals from consortium participating companies aiming to realize an energy self-sufficient city together with the district office until the 18th."

Nam-gu aims to achieve a 50% renewable energy self-sufficiency rate by 2030. Next year, it plans to invest about 3 billion KRW to install solar power facilities at 250 locations, including houses, commercial buildings, multi-family housing, social welfare facilities, and senior centers throughout the district, and also install solar power equipment at 40 locations.

Eligibility requires companies that primarily oversee solar power installation to form a consortium with companies responsible for solar thermal installation, monitoring, design, and supervision in order to participate.

Solar power and solar thermal installation companies must be those selected last year by the Korea Energy Agency as participants in the renewable energy supply project, and monitoring companies must be remote terminal unit (RTU) manufacturers certified by the Korea Energy Agency.

Consortium participating companies must submit their business proposals, PPT presentation booklets, and various supporting documents by 4 p.m. on the 18th either by visiting the 6th floor Environmental Ecology Division of Nam-gu Office or by mail.

The selection of participating companies will be decided at the evaluation committee scheduled for the 22nd, where the company with the highest combined quantitative and qualitative evaluation scores will be selected.

After confirming the consortium participating companies, Nam-gu plans to submit the project plan to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. The ministry is expected to conduct public, in-depth, and comprehensive evaluations from July to September and announce the project target areas around October.

A Nam-gu official stated, "We will do our best to ensure that administrative agencies and companies work together to be selected for the public contest project to improve the district’s eco-friendly energy self-sufficiency rate and build an energy self-sufficient city."
