SEOUL, May 26 (Korea Bizwire) – POSCO ICT Co., a unit of South Korea’s leading steelmaker POSCO, said Thursday it plans to generate power from solar panels set up on rooftops of buildings and sell it to the state-run Korea Power Exchange.
The company said the project involves generating small-volume power of around 1 megawatt. POSCO ICT plans to install infrastructure at its headquarters and factories, and gradually expand the production capacity.
“We have a bright outlook on the growth, as small-volume generation projects can receive governmental incentives, and the procedures to secure approval for related land use are easier to obtain,” a company official said.
