Suwon City to Support Up to 1.5 Million Won Per Household for 'Green Home' Installation

Suwon City announced on the 25th that it will provide up to 1.5 million won per household for detached and multi-family residences installing renewable energy facilities such as solar panels.

The city will coordinate with the government's Green Home 1 Million Households Supply Project to promote green energy use, with the government covering 35-75% of total installation costs and the city covering the remainder, up to a maximum of 1.5 million won per household.

Citizens wishing to install such systems must enter into a contract with a specialized construction company selected by the Korea Energy Management Corporation's Renewable Energy Center, in accordance with the Green Home 1 Million Households Supply Project standard installation contract.

Upon completion of renewable energy facility installation, applicants will receive a facility installation certificate from the Korea Energy Management Corporation, submit a subsidy application, and receive the subsidy after suitability review.

Green Home refers to eco-friendly, energy-efficient residences that introduce renewable energy sources such as solar power, solar thermal, geothermal, and fuel cells into residential buildings to minimize fossil fuel use and greenhouse gas emissions.

Lim Yong-jin, Director of the Climate Change Response Division, said, "Through expanding the supply of renewable energy and fostering related industries to revitalize the local economy, as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we will actively respond to climate change and do our utmost to build Suwon as an environmental capital."
