Chungnam Province is continuing its achievements in expanding urban gas supply, spearheaded by its "Strong Chungnam" energy welfare policy.

On August 18, the province announced that it had signed a "Special Support Business Agreement for Urban Gas Supply in Chubu-myeon, Geumsan-gun" with Geumsan County and JB Corporation at the Chubu-myeon Administrative Welfare Center in Geumsan. A total of 13.2 billion KRW will be invested to supply urban gas to 1,000 households in Chubu-myeon.

This project involves installing 18 kilometers of urban gas pipelines by 2028. The province and Geumsan County will provide administrative support and secure special funding, while JB Corporation will be responsible for construction.

The pipeline will connect the Darakwon to Hydrolithium section in Chubu-myeon by 2027, and by 2028, the supply network will be expanded to the Yangcheong intersection and the Majon-ri area.

Currently, the urban gas supply rate in Chungnam stands at 76.7% (approximately 800,000 households). Including this project, the province aims to achieve a supply rate of over 80% by 2028.

Jeon Hyungsik, Vice Governor for Political Affairs, stated, "The province will invest approximately 70 billion KRW by 2028 to expand urban gas supply throughout the region. We will do our utmost to ensure that every resident can enjoy living infrastructure befitting 'Strong Chungnam.'"

Meanwhile, the province also plans to address regional energy imbalances by simultaneously implementing projects to build small-scale village LPG storage tanks and medium-scale LPG pipeline networks in areas where urban gas supply is difficult. Through these efforts, Chungnam aims to complete its "Strong Chungnam-Style Energy Welfare Model."
