Shinan Photovoltaic Power Complex
Power Complex Overview
As for photovoltaic power generation, POSCO ENERGY is evaluated to have set an example of
eco-friendly business practices that improve community well-being by building and operating
a 14.5MW-capacity photovoltaic power complex on a closed salt field in Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do.

Location
Palgeum-myeon, Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do -
Capacity
14.5MW in total
Expected effects
We minimized surrounding environmental damages by developing closed salt field into photovoltaic power complex.
In addition, we are producing eco-friendly energy that is highly efficient by utilizing the amount of much solar radiation
as the characteristic of salt pond.
We are producing 18,000MWh of electricity annually for 5,300 households to use.
It brings about 7,600 ton of CO2 reduction effect and planting effect of 2.2 million pine trees annually.
