Sustainability Plan
A self-sustaining energy city
achieving carbon neutrality
With the goal of achieving a 60% local energy self-sufficiency rate by 2035 and reaching 100% by 2050, we are adopting diverse renewable energy sources and a local energy management system to build a sustainable city with Korea’s first district-level eco-friendly certification.

Mid- to Long-Term Implementation Strategy for a Self-Sustaining Energy City
2035
Achieve 60% energy independence
* Target: ZEB Level 32050
Achieve 100% energy independence
* Target: ZEB Level 1Aligned with Seoul’s 2050 Zero Energy Building (ZEB) Initiative
* Based on the 2nd Seoul Green Building Development Plan (2022)
2030_ZEB Level 3 Public: Level2 / Private: Level3
2050_ZEB Level 1 Public: Level1 / Private: Level1
* ZEB: Zero Energy Building Buildings that minimize energy consumption and offset remaining use through renewable energy sources, achieving net-zero energy consumption.
