Korea Western Power is set to develop a solar energy project utilizing idle land from the Korea Agency for Technology and Standards (KATS) to expand renewable energy in the public sector.
On November 5, Korea Western Power signed a memorandum of understanding with KATS to promote the solar energy project on KATS's idle land.
The agreement aims to enhance the utilization of public assets by installing solar power facilities in areas such as parking lots, rooftops, and walkways, with an expected annual generation of 1,614 MWh (megawatt-hours).
Under the agreement, both organizations will collaborate on identifying project sites, assessing economic and technical feasibility, installing and operating solar power facilities, and providing necessary administrative and technical support.
Korea Western Power plans to evaluate the suitability of the sites based on its experience in power project development and facility operation, establishing a phased project plan. The company intends to ensure the safety and operational efficiency of the facilities in accordance with relevant laws and technical standards.
A representative from Korea Western Power stated, "This agreement is a collaborative effort to utilize idle spaces in government agencies for renewable energy production. We will continue to identify projects that utilize public land and expand cooperation with relevant organizations."
