Residents of some islands in Sinan, Jeollanam-do, will receive a solar pension of up to 420,000 won per month.
President Moon Jae-in will also pay profits to residents from April in accordance with Shinan-gun’s’Ordinance on Renewable Energy Development Profit Sharing’, which has been a hot topic after mentioning twice.
In October 2018, Shinan-gun enacted the nation’s first’Ordinance on Sharing Profits for Renewable Energy Development’.
Shinan-gun started commercial operation a month ago at two solar power generation complexes in Anjwa-myeon while promoting 1.8GW of renewable energy solar power generation business.
According to the ordinance, members who join in accordance with the ordinance are expected to receive dividends from a minimum of 140,000 won to a maximum of 420,000 won depending on the distance from the power plant.
In order to resolve residents’ dissatisfaction, the weight is changed according to the distance of the house and solar and offshore wind power plants, according to the Calculation of Weights for Joint Share participation of residents and Sinan-gun.
As commercial operation is expected to begin in two Jiji-eup locations in the first half of the year, the new and renewable energy development profit sharing ordinance of Shinan-gun once again attracted great attention nationwide.

In other areas, business was stopped for nine years due to the delay in agreements with residents.
However, Shinan-gun sought enough persuasion and understanding of the residents and achieved a result of inducing negotiations in nine months.
The ordinance for sharing development profits allowed the military to participate in the establishment of a power plant with a stake of at least 30% in order to enjoy the development profits of solar and wind resources, which are public resources in Shinan.
When Shinan offshore wind power is completed, annual income of 300 billion won will be generated, and benefits will be returned in the form of pensions up to 6 million won per resident per year.
