KEPCO KPS Backs Installation of Photovoltaic Power Facilities at 12 Welfare Centers
KEPCO KPS has spearheaded efforts to practice energy welfare and greenhouse gas emission reduction by supporting the installation of photovoltaic power facilities at 12 welfare centers across the nation.
KEPCO KPS financed 160 million won in installing photovoltaic power facilities with a combined capacity of 66kW at 12 welfare centers, including ones in Gwangju Metropolitan City, Gokseong-gun, Jeollanam-do and Muju-gun, Jeollauk-do, last year.
The company has implemented the project since 2019. For the past four years, KEPCO KPS has installed a combined 35 photovoltaic power facilities.
It has an impact of planting about 44,000 young trees by reducing greenhouse gas emissions 124tCO-eq annually.
With the installation of a photovoltaic power facility, each welfare center is expected to save several thousands of won in electricity fares, thus reducing its operation burden.
KEPCO KPS obtained an “A” grade in an ESG evaluation survey by Korea Institute of Corporate Governance and Sustainability and won the national speaker’s prize at the Korea ESG Management Grand Prizes ceremony last year.
The company plans to carry on advanced management prioritizing the environment and social values this year.
