Midland Power supported the installation of 388 fine dust blocking screens (worth 50 million KRW) at five social welfare facilities for underprivileged groups around power plants. Specifically, they started by installing 147 screens at two facilities for the disabled, followed by 131 screens at two child welfare facilities, and 110 screens at one elderly welfare facility.
