[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hun] Gyeonggi Province announced on the 31st that it will install an additional 594km of city gas pipeline networks by next year to expand city gas supply coverage.
Based on construction plans submitted by six city gas business operators in the province, including Samcheonri Co., Ltd., under the "City Gas Business Act," the Province established this "Two-Year City Gas Supply Facility Construction Plan" and announced it on that day. According to regulations, the Provincial Governor is required to establish and announce a gas supply facility construction plan for two years, including the current year, by the end of March each year.
Accordingly, 580 areas in the province, including the Suwon Goodeung District and Mibyeong-ri, Wonsam-myeon, Yongin, will receive city gas supply by next year.
This year, a total project investment of 114.1 billion won will be allocated to install 294km of new city gas pipeline networks. The areas include 322 locations with 278,415 households, such as the new residential and commercial complex at 179-3 Simgok-dong, Bucheon, and the area around Euntong Industrial Complex in Yeoncheon-eup, Yeoncheon County.
Next year, a total project investment of 121.4 billion won will be allocated to install an additional 300km of pipeline networks. The areas include 258 locations with 125,336 households, such as Phase 2 of the Suwon Seoho District and Unjeong District 3, Paju. If the installation proceeds as planned, the Province expects to be able to supply city gas to approximately 400,000 households.
Detailed supply plans and areas can be found on the websites of the relevant cities and counties, city gas companies, or the Gyeonggi Province homepage (Information by Category → Fire/Disaster Safety → Gas Supply and Safety).
Kim Kyeong-seop, Director of the Climate and Energy Policy Division of Gyeonggi Province, said, "Over the two years from this year to next year, the pipeline construction plans of six city gas business operators have been concretely confirmed," and added, "Whether new city gas supply is available due to pipeline installation can be confirmed with the gas division of the relevant cities and counties or the city gas business operators in your residential area."
