Gyeonggi Climate Platform Revamped to Provide Solar Installation Feasibility and Recycling Reward Information
Gyeonggi Province announced on the 28th that it has revamped the 'Gyeonggi Climate Platform' to allow residents to check whether they can install solar power facilities on their land or buildings and to easily find nearby recycling reward exchange centers.
The Gyeonggi Climate Platform (Climate.gg.go.kr) is a service that provides climate disaster information such as landslide risk levels and heat wave and flood hazard maps, as well as various climate and environmental information including carbon absorption and storage levels of trees and soil across Gyeonggi Province, status of parks and green spaces, and solar power generation potential.
The newly introduced 'Solar Suitability Analysis Service' allows residents and businesses to select desired land or buildings and check whether they are suitable for installing solar power facilities by comprehensively displaying power generation profitability, relevant regulations, and the possibility of connecting to power grids.
Land or building owners considering the installation of solar power facilities can check the generation potential, expected profitability, and any regulations restricting installation of a given site at a glance on the Gyeonggi Climate Platform without having to search for related information from multiple organizations individually.
The province plans to collaborate with Korea Electric Power Corporation to provide the latest information needed to determine whether solar power facilities can be connected to the power grid more promptly.
The province also newly provides a 'Garbage Finance (Waste Tech) Information Service' that informs the public about places where recycled items can be exchanged for cash or regional currency as compensation.
Recycling reward exchange centers, including AI-operated unmanned collection machines, resource circulation shops, and collection and reward exchange centers that had been scattered across municipalities and organizations, can now be checked all at once on the map. Residents can check the location, usage method, and compensation conditions of exchange centers near them and use nearby ones.
Byeon Sang-ki, head of Gyeonggi Province's Climate and Environment Policy Division, said, "This revision goes beyond simply providing climate information and focuses on enabling residents to directly use it in their daily lives, such as examining solar panel installation or finding recycling reward centers," and added, "We will continue to discover services that residents can easily use and directly experience to improve accessibility to climate information."
