Chungcheongnam-do declared “Energy Conversion Vision 2050” to achieve 0% of coal-fired power generation and 47.5% of renewable energy use by 2050.
On the 21st, Chungcheongnam-do held the “Energy Conversion Vision” declaration ceremony at the conference room in its office building and declared the provincial Energy Conversion Vision based on the energy saving citizens scenario together with the promotional tasks. Energy Conversion Vision 2050 was established under the motto of the “Starlit Chungcheongnam-do created by energy saving citizens” as a process and the result of powering past coal and energy conversion.
Energy Conversion Vision suggests goals to decrease the percentage of coal-fired power generation from the current 87.7% to 0% by 2050 and also to increase the percentage of renewable energy power generation from 7.7% to 47.5%. In addition, it aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power generation plants from 94.242 million tons as of present down to 19.194 million tons and the annual average fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentration to 10㎍/㎡ by 2050.
To achieve these goals, Chungcheongnam-do decided to promote six principles, four strategies and ten promotional tasks along with detailed projects. The six principles, which are a message for energy conversion in Korea and the world, are comprised of reduction of energy consumption, conversion of energy supply, energy saving companies, energy saving citizens, energy decentralization and energy culture.
In line with the six principles, Chungcheongnam-do will promote replacing, fostering, emptying and sharing as the four detailed strategies for realizing Energy Conversion Vision 2050. Replacing is a strategy to replace coal-fired power generation with renewable energy. A study on the social lifespan of coal-fired power plants, conversion fund development and renewable energy distribution planning for Chungcheongnam-do will be promoted as detailed projects.
Fostering is a strategy to foster energy saving companies and citizens that will solve the energy issues of Chungcheongnam-do. The detailed projects include supporting energy activists, creating an energy conversion street and establishing a local innovation system for new energy industries. Emptying is a strategy to actively reduce energy consumption in both industrial and non-industrial sectors.
For this strategy, expansion of zero-energy buildings, green remodeling and energy-efficient market and development of an ecological industrial complex will be promoted as detailed projects. Sharing is a strategy to share the cost and benefits of energy conversion for which citizens' energy fund and energy welfare fund development and expansion of appropriate technology distribution will be promoted.
In the long term, Chungcheongnam-do will share the energy vision with domestic and international local governments, organize an energy committee and executive committee where provincial residents and stakeholders participate and establish energy governance.
In addition, to improve its competency in relation to the energy policy, Chungcheongnam-do will complete the energy center establishment through energy ordinance revision within the first half of this year and request the central government to raise an eco-friendly energy conversion fund by amending the Electric Utility Act.
