The Gyeonggi Provincial Government overhauled its digital climate platform on September 28, 2026, introducing targeted spatial analysis tools and centralized recycling location data to help residents and businesses understand environmental policy. The updated Gyeonggi Climate Platform consolidates hazard tracking, green spaces, and renewable energy metrics into a single interface designed for daily practical use.
Solar Potential Analysis for Landowners and Businesses
A newly added feature, the solar site suitability analysis service, allows users to select specific land parcels or buildings to evaluate photovoltaic generation economics, regulatory constraints, and power grid interconnection feasibility. According to provincial announcements, Gyeonggi Province is collaborating with the Korea Electric Power Corporation to supply timely grid connectivity data directly through the platform.
Users can assess whether a chosen site meets technical and financial benchmarks before investing in solar infrastructure. This tool joins an existing suite of geographical data layers on the platform, which already includes landslide vulnerability ratings, heatwave and flood risk maps, and estimations for tree and soil carbon storage.
Locating Recycling Rewards and Exchange Centers
To encourage municipal waste reduction, the platform launched a “trash tech” information service that maps out verified locations where residents can exchange recyclable goods for cash or local currency. The integrated map displays automated artificial intelligence reverse vending machines, resource circulation shops, and designated collection exchange points.
Residents can view operating rules, compensation criteria, and precise geographic coordinates for each drop-off point in a single view. Provincial officials restructured the layout and renamed several core menus to ensure these public utility services remain easily accessible across mobile and desktop devices.
Integration of Climate Satellite Tracking
The platform update follows the integration of a climate satellite data feed launched in July 2026, which monitors real-time environmental shifts across the region. By combining satellite observations with ground-level hazard maps and green space inventories, the platform functions as an analytical backbone for local climate adaptation planning.
“This overhaul focuses on giving residents practical tools they can use directly in their daily lives, whether they are evaluating solar installation or finding recycling drop-off points,” said Byun Sang-ki, head of the Climate Environment Policy Division at Gyeonggi Province. “We will continue expanding accessible environmental services to raise climate data transparency for the public.”
