H Energy, the operator of the energy investment platform MoHat, announced on the 17th that it has been selected for the "1st Innovation Premier 1000," a joint initiative led by 13 government ministries, including the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Environment. Notably, the company is one of 30 enterprises selected by more than one ministry, which is seen as recognition of both its technological capabilities and sustainability.
The "Innovation Premier 1000" is a program jointly operated by 13 government ministries to identify and intensively support outstanding small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and mid-sized companies in each industry. Each ministry selected a total of 542 companies with excellent innovation and growth potential, reflecting their respective policy directions and industry characteristics. Of these, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy finalized 128 companies, while the Ministry of Environment confirmed 32 companies. H Energy attracted attention by being included on the list of both ministries.
The 509 companies selected will receive customized financial and non-financial support through policy financial institutions until the end of 2026. Through the "Innovation Premier Exclusive Product," they will benefit from the highest levels of preferential treatment in terms of interest rates, loan limits, and guarantee ratios. In addition, depending on each company's growth stage, non-financial support such as IR, export assistance, and consulting will also be provided. Separately, the Ministry of Environment plans to offer additional ministry-specific benefits, including R&D, publicity, and management consulting.
H Energy plans to accelerate the advancement of its circular energy business model as a result of this selection. Currently, H Energy operates the energy investment platform "MoHat," which connects individual investors and cooperative-based solar power projects; the rental income model "SolarShare 2.0," which utilizes idle rooftop assets; and the AI-based solar power plant management subscription service "SolarOnCare." Through the organic circular structure among these businesses, the company is building a domestic renewable energy ecosystem.
Ham Ilhan, CEO of H Energy, stated, "Being selected for the 'Innovation Premier 1000' is a result that demonstrates H Energy's positive impact on society, as recognized simultaneously by both the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy and the Ministry of Environment." He added, "Based on our technological capabilities and execution in the renewable energy sector, we will continue to expand a healthy energy ecosystem where individuals, technology, and the environment are in harmony."
