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. (Yonhap)
