Gyeonggi Province announced on the 31st the two-year construction plan for city gas supply facilities based on the construction plans submitted by six city gas operators in the province, including Samchully Co., Ltd. According to the City Gas Business Act, the governor must establish and announce a two-year gas supply facility construction plan, including the current year, by the end of March each year.

This year, a total project cost of 114.3 billion KRW will be invested to newly install 210 km of city gas pipelines within the province. The areas include 291 locations such as Yujeong-ri in Docheok-myeon, Gwangju-si, covering approximately 205,000 households.

Next year, with a total project cost of 104.2 billion KRW, an additional 169 km of city gas pipelines will be installed to supply city gas to about 85,000 households in 183 locations, including the Gyodong Yeoju Sejong District area in Yeoju-si.

If the installation proceeds as planned, Gyeonggi Province expects to newly supply city gas to a total of approximately 290,000 households.

Detailed construction plans for supply facilities by city and county within the province can be checked on the respective city or county websites, the city gas operators serving those areas, or the Gyeonggi Province official website.

Cha Seong-su, Director of the Climate Environment and Energy Bureau of Gyeonggi Province, said, “We expect that this expansion of city gas supply will help improve residents’ living conditions and reduce heating costs. Although Gyeonggi Province’s city gas coverage rate is the highest among provincial units at 84.1% as of the end of 2024, we will continue to strive to enhance energy welfare for our residents.”
