Caution level issued due to Middle East tensions; improving facility efficiency and enforcing intensive energy saving; fostering an energy-saving culture with employee participation
Korea Midland Power (KOMIPO) announced on the 31st that it will fully implement its “Measures for the Rationalization of Energy Utilization” to ease concerns over potential disruptions in energy supply amid an energy security crisis triggered by recent geopolitical instability.
The measures were prepared after the government raised the national resource security crisis warning system to the “Caution” level. As a public institution, KOMIPO aims to take the lead in saving energy, while fulfilling its core mission as a power generation company by ensuring stable electricity supply and promoting a culture of efficient energy use.
KOMIPO first plans to drastically reduce fuel consumption and in-house power use by improving the performance and efficiency of key power generation facilities. To this end, it will optimize the operation and management of power generation and environmental facilities, and continuously identify outstanding initiatives to cut in-house power consumption and apply them in the field.
At its headquarters and business sites, the company will strictly maintain appropriate indoor temperatures of at least 28°C in summer and no more than 18°C in winter, and will turn off outdoor advertisements and promotional electronic billboards during late-night hours. It also plans to automatically cut power to unused PCs and, when purchasing new office equipment, select products with energy-saving labels to help reduce standby power consumption.
In addition, KOMIPO will rigorously enforce the five-day vehicle rotation system for public institutions and minimize unnecessary daily energy waste through rational elevator operation, such as skipping floors. The company will also strengthen specialized training for energy managers and carry out energy-saving campaigns targeting both employees and the general public by using social networking service (SNS) platforms and in-house communication channels.
Lee Young-jo, President of Korea Midland Power, stated, “We will continue to implement effective measures and play a leading role in overcoming the energy crisis.”
