The agreement includes △installation of solar power generation facilities within the premises of the Agricultural Technology Center and Agricultural Ecology Center △plans to supply renewable energy to RE100 companies within the city △mutual cooperation to achieve Pyeongtaek City's carbon neutrality goals.
