Water treatment plant 'idle land' to be used for solar power generation…supplying 130 won per kWh to medium enterprises 정부가 하수처리장이나 정수장처럼 환경시설에 태양광 발전시설을 설치해 전기를 생산하기로 했습니다. The government has decided to produce electricity by installing solar power generation facilities in environmental facilities such as sewage treatment plants and water treatment plants. 환경부는 20일, 한국수자원공사, 한국환경공단, 중소기업중앙회와 함께 '환경기초시설 태양광 발전사업 업무협약'을 맺었습니다. On the 20th, the Ministry of Environment, along with the Korea Water Resources Corporation, the Korea Environmental Public Service Corporation, and the Small and Medium Enterprises Central Association, signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding for Solar Power Generation Business in Environmental Facilities'. 협약에 따라 4개 기관은 환경시설 유휴부지 50곳에 2025년까지 1GW 규모의 태양광 발전시설을 설치합니다. According to the agreement, the four organizations will install 1GW of solar power generation facilities in 50 idle sites of environmental facilities by 2025. 생산된 전기는 한국전력공사를 통해 중소기업에 공급됩니다. The electricity generated will be supplied to medium and small enterprises through Korea Electric Power Corporation. 공급단가는 kWh당 130원입니다. The supply price is 130 won per kWh. 이는 한국전력공사가 6월 1일부터 적용하고 있는 전기 공급 기본요금 144원보다 14원 저렴한 수준입니다. This is 14 won lower than the basic electricity supply price of 144 won, which Korea Electric Power Corporation has applied since June 1st. 환경부는 이번 사업으로 중소기업의 전기료 부담이 낮아지고, 온실가스 감축 효과도 기대하고 있습니다. The Ministry of Environment expects that this project will reduce the electricity bill burden on small and medium enterprises and also have an effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. 또 환경시설 유휴부지를 활용해 전기를 생산해 환경개선 투자 재원으로 활용하는 효과도 있다고 밝혔습니다. In addition, it stated that utilizing idle sites of environmental facilities to generate electricity will also have the effect of improving environmental conditions and utilizing it as an investment resource.
