The government launched an energy-saving campaign for the winter season with related public and private organizations, including the Korea NGO’s Energy Network, on Monday.
The launch of the campaign was noticed in advance as a series of breakdowns of nuclear power plants due to different reasons triggered concerns of a power shortage during the winter.
The campaign, which will last until Feb. 22, 2013, targets both citizens and large-sized office buildings. For citizens, the campaign will advise them to dress warmer to save energy at home and to reduce power usage in peak time. The ministry will force large-sized office buildings to maintain indoor temperature below 20 degrees Celsius.
About 400 energy-saving promoters, appointed by the ministry, will conduct an on-site inspection on energy-consumption areas and buildings during the campaign.
