Daegu Urban Development Corporation received high praise for presenting the case of establishing a 'Shared Solar Power Plant' utilizing unused spaces in multi-unit and multi-family housing-the first such initiative among local public enterprises in the field of municipal innovation. The corporation installs solar power plants on the unused rooftops of purchased rental housing, funded by the Citizen Solar Power Cooperative, thereby contributing to carbon neutrality and the transition to renewable energy. In addition, a portion of the profits from power generation is used to reduce housing costs for rental residents, thus taking the lead in improving welfare for vulnerable groups.

This innovative case was recognized as a model for energy transition through community benefit sharing, and was highly evaluated for its potential to be expanded as a Daegu-style carbon neutrality model, leading to the award of the Encouragement Prize.

Jeong Myungseop, President of Daegu Urban Development Corporation, stated, "This award is the result of the efforts made by all employees of Daegu Urban Development Corporation to promote citizen-centered innovation and proactive administration," adding, "We will continue to do our best to innovate public services that citizens can tangibly experience and to realize social value."
