The Seoul Olympic Memorial National Sports Promotion Foundation (Chairman Ha Hyung-joo) announced that it will complete the construction of an integrated solar power generation facility at Gwangmyeong Speedome and start operating in earnest.

The huge bicycle helmet-shaped Gwangmyeong Speedome has structural limitations in installing general rooftop solar power generation facilities. In response, since April, the Gyeongryun Provincial Government has found suitable solar power facilities for Gwangmyeong Speedom through exploration of best practices, product exhibitions, solar investment consulting at energy-specialized institutions, and design services. Since October, it has invested 780 million won to build a building-integrated solar power facility'.

When solar power begins in earnest on the 30th, two months (34,000 kWh) of lighting power used by Gwangmyeong Speedome will be obtained through solar power every year, which will also save 21.3 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.




Meanwhile, the Gyeonggi Provincial Government announced that it is building block-type solar power facilities in part of the 6th parking lot of Gwangmyeong Speedome through private cooperation and plans to make efforts to realize social value management (ESG management) by building various low-carbon and eco-friendly facilities in the future.
