A growing number of units across the country are exploiting natural energy.

Among them are several neighbourhood units in the capital city of Pyongyang.

Last year, the municipality built interconnected photovoltaic power plants on the roofs of some apartment buildings in Tongdaewon and Taedonggang districts.

These power plants generate scores of kW of electricity respectively which is supplied to relevant families through the national power grid.

“Dozens of families are greatly benefitting from the solar power in lighting and heating,” said Kim Un Bok, head of a neighbourhood unit in Taesin-dong, Tongdaewon District.

Some 50 families in Jangchung-dong No. 1, Songyo District, have established a photovoltaic power generation system by themselves.

While operating the interconnected photovoltaic power plants, Pyongyang Municipality has accumulated experiences for making the effective use of natural energy. Now it is pushing the work to introduce the experience to more units.
