Published
Goyang City in Gyeonggi Province has agreed to work with Korea East-West Power (KOEN) to modernize the Ilsan Cogeneration Plant. The goal of this cooperation is to replace aging power facilities to improve energy efficiency and revitalize the local economy.
The Ilsan Cogeneration Plant is a facility that produces both electricity and heat, and it is closely connected to the daily lives of Goyang residents. Through this project, improvements to the plant's equipment are expected to enable more efficient use of energy and reduce its burden on the environment.
In addition, Goyang City and KOEN have included a plan to expand solar power generation in this project. Solar power produces electricity using sunlight, and it aligns with the government's policy direction of expanding renewable energy. The two organizations stated their intention to expand solar facilities to change the composition of energy used in the region.
This cooperation is expected to benefit the local economy through the plant modernization work and the creation of related jobs. Goyang City and KOEN plan to announce specific implementation schedules and detailed plans in stages going forward. Local residents also need to keep an eye on how the project progresses.
