The government is accelerating the solar power expansion project in the Siheung-Hwaong area, which is being developed as a major renewable energy production hub in the metropolitan area. Relevant ministries and agencies are set to assess project conditions and prepare support measures to enhance the rollout.
The Ministry of Climate, Energy, and Environment announced that Minister Kim Seong-hwan will visit the Siheung-Hwaong area in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi Province, on the morning of August 28 to evaluate the conditions for renewable energy deployment.
The Siheung-Hwaong area has significant potential for large-scale renewable energy deployment in the metropolitan region. Following the site inspection, Minister Kim will discuss support measures to promote solar power expansion with relevant agencies, including the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, the Korea Rural Community Corporation, and the Korea Energy Agency.
This site visit is a follow-up to the Prime Minister's visit to the Siheung-Hwaong area on April 22, where he called for close cooperation between the Ministry of Climate and the Ministry of Agriculture. The government plans to expedite the large-scale renewable energy deployment project through inter-ministerial collaboration.
The Ministry of Climate will review the support measures discussed that day and coordinate with relevant ministries to facilitate the swift advancement of the project.
Minister Kim emphasized, "The transition to renewable energy is a national and historical task, and since the policy direction is firmly established, the government must focus on prompt implementation." He added, "The solar power expansion project in the Siheung-Hwaong area is a key initiative to establish a large-scale power production base in the metropolitan area and drive the growth of clean power supply and related industrial ecosystems. We must mobilize all resources to accelerate the project."
