Solar power generation facilities will be installed on the outer wall of Gwangmyeong Speedome, where the race will be held. Gwangmyeong Speedom, which is shaped like a huge bicycle helmet, has limitations in installing general rooftop solar facilities. In response, the Gyeongnyeon Provincial Government Headquarters will begin installing a 'Building Integrated Solar Panel' suitable for Gwangmyeong Speedom next month after exploring best practices, visiting product fairs, conducting solar investment consulting at energy-specialized institutions, and designing services. It also plans to install a colored panel to harmonize with the appearance of the Gwangmyeong Speedome.
When construction is completed at the end of the year and solar power generation begins in earnest, two months (28,000kWh) of lighting power used by Gwangmyeong Speedom will be obtained through solar power and 17 tons of greenhouse gas reduction per year is expected.
Meanwhile, the 740 light fixtures in the Misari Police Station light tower will also be gradually replaced with LED lights for three years by 2026.

Meanwhile, on July 31, the Korea Red Cross Incheon Blood Center held a 'Group Blood Donation Event of Love' with the Korea Red Cross.
The group blood donation event was held this time with the voluntary participation of executives and employees of the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Headquarters to contribute a little to the shrinking blood supply due to the summer vacation season. The blood donation was carried out from 10 a.m. in the parking lot of Gwangmyeong Speedome with on-site support from Incheon Blood Center of the Korean Red Cross, and executives and employees who participated were also given the opportunity to check their health conditions, including blood tests, blood pressure tests, antibody tests, and cholesterol tests.
An official at the Gyeonggi Provincial Government Headquarters who prepared the blood donation event said, "We also donated blood in groups in April, and this is the second event of the year." We will continue to hold meaningful events like this to become a model public institution for ESG practice," he said.
