Provision of Residential Welfare Services Including Replacement of Cooling Devices, Insulation, Windows, and Boilers

[Jindo=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Jae-kyung] Jindo-gun, Jeollanam-do is actively promoting the ‘Low-Income Energy Efficiency Improvement Project’ targeting households with poor energy usage environments to create a stable residential environment for low-income residents.

The ‘Low-Income Energy Efficiency Improvement Project,’ in collaboration with the Korea Energy Foundation, supports low-income households in energy welfare blind spots by providing ▲ heating construction support such as insulation, window, and floor piping work ▲ replacement of old boilers with energy-efficient boilers.

The support targets low-income households such as basic livelihood security recipients, near-poverty households, and those in welfare blind spots.

Construction costs will be supported from 2 million KRW to a maximum of 3 million KRW per household, and Jindo-gun plans to identify and support about 400 households.

Residents who wish to apply can visit the eup/myeon office to confirm eligibility and then submit the relevant documents.

A Jindo-gun Resident Welfare Department official said, “We hope that the residential environment of low-income households will be comfortably and stably improved through the energy efficiency improvement project.”

Meanwhile, Jindo-gun plans to continue efforts to improve residential welfare by identifying households vulnerable to heatwaves and cold waves in cooperation with the Korea Energy Foundation so that vulnerable households can live in better environments.
