70 Billion Won Allocated for Energy-Saving Initiatives

The South Korean government has allocated 70 billion won ($62 million) this year to support energy-saving initiatives, including a project to replace traditional lighting in apartment underground parking garages with energy-efficient LED lights. This funding, provided through the state-run Korea Finance Corp. via “factoring financing,” enables apartment complexes to transition to LED lighting at no upfront cost, with expenses recouped through savings on electricity bills. Additionally, the financial backing will extend to solar energy projects as part of President Lee Myung-bak’s “green growth” strategy, aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy sources. The initiative, viewed as a vital economic growth engine, highlights South Korea’s commitment to addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The government also plans to bolster its workforce dedicated to green projects and increase its assistance to developing countries in environmental initiatives, with a noticeable rise in green-focused official development aid.
