Gyeonggi Province to Provide Up to 600,000 KRW for Eco-Friendly Boiler Installation for Vulnerable Groups

Gyeonggi Province will provide up to 600,000 KRW per person in subsidies for the installation of eco-friendly boilers for vulnerable groups affected by the climate crisis until the end of this year. The total number of supported installations is 2,258 units, with a total budget of 1,354.8 million KRW.

Eligible recipients include basic livelihood security beneficiaries, the near-poor, disability pension recipients, single-parent families, social welfare facilities, and households with multiple children (households with two or more children and an income at or below 100% of the median income).

Starting this year, Gyeonggi Province will also provide subsidies for low-income and vulnerable households in areas without city gas supply when they replace their existing coal, wood, or oil boilers with certified LPG boilers.

Lee Yoonseong, Director of Gyeonggi Province's Air Quality Management Division, stated, "Using eco-friendly boilers can save approximately 400,000 KRW per year in heating costs," and added, "We expect that supporting the installation of eco-friendly boilers will help reduce heating expenses for residents and contribute to improving air quality by reducing emissions."

Since 2017, Gyeonggi Province has supported the installation of 369,894 residential eco-friendly boilers through this program as of 2024.
