Kim Dong-yeon, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, claimed that during the two and a half years of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, city gas prices have risen by more than 55%, and that a change in mindset could drastically reduce electricity bills, heating and cooling costs.
On the 11th, Governor Kim posted on his social media (SNS), stating, "In the 2 years and 7 months of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration, city gas prices have increased by 55.7%," pointing to it as "the cause behind the heating cost shock that people feel."
He continued, "The burden of living expenses on ordinary citizens has long reached its limit," adding, "Gyeonggi Province will present a new paradigm for housing."
In particular, he said, "Energy self-sufficiency, where energy is produced, stored, and circulated independently, carbon-neutral realization apartments, and ‘zero maintenance fee apartments’ are fully achievable," promising, "If we change our mindset, electricity bills, heating and cooling costs, and maintenance fees can all be drastically reduced, and Gyeonggi Province will be the first to make this a reality."
On the same day, Gyeonggi Province announced that it will apply renewable energy and AI advanced technologies to 800,000 newly built apartments to drastically reduce electricity and heating and cooling costs, and furthermore, realize zero maintenance fee apartments.
