Daejeon City announced that it has finalized the adjustment plan for city gas supply costs this year, which will be applied from the usage starting July 1.

The adjustment plan decided to increase the residential heating gas rate by a minimal 0.32% and the gas rates for other uses by an average of 1.12% based on consumer rates, considering fairness by usage, to alleviate the heating costs for citizens and fuel cost burdens for small business owners.

The city selected an external accounting firm to ensure fairness and objectivity in calculating city gas supply costs and conducted a cost calculation service from April 22 to June 5.

A city official stated, “Although this adjustment is inevitable to ensure city gas safety management and early supply to areas without city gas, the actual burden on citizens will be minimized through stabilization of city gas rates from next year onward.”
