Seoul's metropolitan government plans to deploy 1 GW of solar photovoltaic power for residential and municipal buildings. By 2022, every public building and one million homes in the city are set to be solar-powered, thanks to the Solar City Seoul project.
By the end of 2018, 98 MW of solar capacity was installed on public buildings, with a goal of 244 MW by 2022. Seoul is the first city in South Korea to develop standards in an ordinance on rents of municipal sites to private solar power generators.
Solar power generators can now be found all throughout Seoul—and it all began with SMG's creation of the Seoul Sustainable Energy Action Plan. With the goal of becoming energy-independent, the city is transforming itself into a “solar city” through the citywide use of solar batteries and installation of solar power generators.
