Yangju City Holds 'Energy Vision 2030 Declaration Ceremony'

Yangju City held an 'Energy Vision 2030 Declaration Ceremony' on the 29th at the City Hall Conference Room to successfully achieve its energy vision and respond to future energy policy paradigms.

The ceremony was held in alignment with the government's goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 37% compared to projected 2030 levels and Gyeonggi Province's target of achieving 70% energy self-sufficiency by 2030, following the conclusion of the 'Paris Agreement' in 2015 and the advent of a new climate regime.

At the ceremony, the city announced 35 projects across 3 sectors as detailed implementation plans and promotion strategies to achieve a 100% energy self-sufficiency target.

According to the announced details, the city will pursue projects including expanded car-sharing, youth energy education programs, support for carbon-zero buildings, expanded distribution of eco-friendly vehicles, and energy self-sufficiency initiatives in industrial complexes.

Additionally, the city plans to establish a citizen-led energy conservation system and build a safe and clean local energy production system.

A city official stated, "Through this declaration ceremony, we will develop into a citizen-participation-oriented energy self-sufficient city by achieving 100% energy self-sufficiency by 2030."
