Cheonan City Promotes Establishment of Energy Self-Sufficiency Infrastructure in Four Industrial Complexes

Ministry of Industry Selected for 'Energy Self-Sufficiency Infrastructure Construction' Contest, Secures 20 Billion KRW in National Funding

Cheonan City in Chungnam announced that it will promote a project to establish a self-sufficient energy infrastructure in four local industrial complexes.

This follows the selection in the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy’s “Self-Sufficient Energy Infrastructure Construction Project” competition, securing 20 billion KRW in national funding.

The city plans to install solar power and fuel cells in Cheonan Industrial Complexes 2, 3, and 4, as well as Pungse Industrial Complex by 2026. Additionally, infrastructure will be built to support energy independence for companies within the complexes, including energy demand management and carbon emission reduction.

Furthermore, an integrated energy management system and a safety integration platform will be established, along with education and consulting for demand companies to obtain RE100 certification. This will be promoted in connection with the Cheonan Energy Center’s Cheonan-type integrated platform construction project.

Through this self-sufficient energy infrastructure project, the city expects to expand distributed energy resources centered on demand management, reduce energy costs for resident companies, increase energy self-sufficiency rates, and contribute to strengthening global industrial competitiveness.

A city official stated, “Cheonan’s self-sufficient energy infrastructure construction project will help discover systematic energy policies through a permanent integrated energy management system, while also contributing to the creation of new business opportunities.”
