Gyeonggi-do is the most populous province in South Korea. Its name, Gyeonggi, means "京(Seoul)畿(the area around Seoul)". Thus, Gyeonggi-do can be translated as "Seoul and the surrounding areas of Seoul". Seoul, the nation's largest city and capital, is in the heart of the area but has been separately administered as a provincial-level special city since 1946. Incheon, the nation's third-largest city, is on the coast of the province and has been similarly administered as a provincial-level metropolitan city since 1981. The three jurisdictions are collectively referred to as Sudogwon and cover 11,730 km2 (4,530 sq mi), with a combined population of 25.5 million—amounting to over half of the entire population of South Korea.

Activities

This is a project concept which is to create citizen-led, decentralized, local energy-based society that builds foundations on which the distributed resources (ESS, solar power) in the region that can proliferate profitable models which citizens invest, own, trade and operate.
  1. This is to create an urban energy storage based on the optimal ESS (energy storage) introduction feasibility analysis in accordance with Energy usage analysis (big data).
  2. This project intends to revitalize the energy production distribution resources through citizen-led photovoltaic power generation by developing photovoltaic energy on rooftop of the buildings along with development of photovoltaic energy in rural areas.
  3. It intends to create power trading ecosystem that utilize distributed resources such as energy management efficiency by utilizing energy use analysis and citizen-led photovoltaic prosumer.
