Korea Electrical Manufacturers Association to Hold "Electric Energy Efficiency Improvement Contest"

Scope Expanded to Include Cultural and Arts Centers

The Korea Electrical Manufacturers Association announced on the 11th that it will hold the "2026 Electric Energy Efficiency Improvement Contest for the Spread of ESG Management" to promote efficient electricity use, encourage energy-saving practices, and discover and share outstanding cases.

In particular, this year's contest has expanded its scope beyond the traditional focus on industrial complexes to include cultural and arts centers. To this end, the Korea Electrical Manufacturers Association signed a business agreement with the Korea Cultural & Arts Centers Association on the 8th.

So Hong-sam, President of the Korea Cultural & Arts Centers Association, stated at the signing ceremony, "Electricity and the arts may seem to be separate fields at first glance, but both are important foundations supporting the nation's competitiveness." He added, "I hope the Electric Energy Efficiency Improvement Contest serves as an opportunity not only for simple energy-saving activities but also to transform the operational methods and perceptions of cultural centers."

The contest will evaluate participating businesses by comprehensively comparing the amount of electricity used at their facilities over five months, from June to October, with usage and savings rates from the same period over the previous two years, as well as by reviewing outstanding practices.

Applications for the contest can be submitted by email (exco@kea.kr) or by mail (17th floor, Electric Hall, 113 Jungdae-ro, Songpa-gu, Seoul) from May 18 to June 19. For inquiries, please contact the Member Cooperation Team of the Korea Electrical Manufacturers Association.

Noh Yong-ho, Executive Vice President of the Korea Electrical Manufacturers Association, stated, "Improving energy efficiency in public facilities such as cultural and arts centers is an important starting point that can lead to greater public awareness." He continued, "We hope that the expansion of the contest, which has been held annually for businesses in industrial complexes, will further promote a culture of sustainable energy use."
