The South Korean government has revealed plans to construct the nation's largest hydrogen fuel cell power plant, the Gangdong Hydrogen Fuel Cell Power Plant, in Gyeongju, South Korea. This innovative project, with an estimated investment of 771.6 billion won, aims to tackle energy and economic challenges. With a capacity of 107.9 MW, the plant will supply electricity to around 270,000 households, addressing power shortages in the region and supporting industrial complexes like Pohang's Yeongil Bay and Blue Valley Industrial Complexes. The project is anticipated to create 1,200 jobs and generate 73.3 billion won in corporate tax revenue while contributing to South Korea's green energy objectives. Led by the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, this initiative is part of the Regional Activation Investment Fund, emphasizing regional economic growth through large-scale projects. Governor Lee Cheol-woo highlighted the significance of this project in integrating energy policy with industrial investment, showcasing the transformative power of strategic investments. The government's commitment to sustainable growth is further emphasized by considering an expansion of the Regional Revitalization Investment Fund. By leveraging hydrogen fuel cell technology, the project not only addresses energy needs but also paves the way for Gyeongju to lead in clean energy innovation, driving regional economic revitalization and long-term industrial development.
