Busan's initiative to equip 60 schools with solar energy systems aims to channel profits into student welfare, while Gwangju is establishing a farming solar energy zone linked with RE100 companies.
The city of Busan is currently pursuing a project to install solar energy facilities in 60 schools, with the resulting revenue being redirected towards student welfare programs. In Gwangju, an innovative model of energy co-existence is being developed through the establishment of agricultural solar energy complexes linked to the RE100 initiative, which promotes 100% usage of renewable energy by businesses. The Lee Jae-myung government's vision is encapsulated in the term 'villages earning from sunlight and wind,' aimed at achieving a target of 100 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy in the country, raising the question of whether this model can take root nationally.
