[December 17, 2014]
<YU signed an industry-academic cooperation agreement for the 'solar power facility installation support project for research' together with KOSEP and solar power development companies.>
YU (President Noh Seok-kyun) teamed up with KOSEP (President Heo Yeob) and solar power companies to construct a green campus.
In the morning of the 16th, YU signed an MOU to pursue the 'solar power facility installation support project for research (Sunny Plant Project)' together with KOSEP, Hanwha Q Cell (President Kim Hee-chul), Topsun (President Yoon Jung-taek), and Hanvit DNS (President Lee Hyun-hwa).
With the signing of this agreement, Hanwha Q Cell and Topsun will provide the materials for solar power, Hanvit DNS will be in charge of solar power facility design, licensing and construction, and KOSEP will fund installation costs to install the solar power generation facilities on the roof of the YU living hall building. YU will be in charge of the solar power facility installation, operation and operational efficiency analysis, to efficiently operate and manage the solar power facilities, and provide the facility operation results and improvement plans to the partners for this. The facility is expected to produce about 119.8MWh of power a year with the approximately 100KW solar power generator.
YU Industry-academic Team Leader Park Jin-ho who attended this signing ceremony said, "Through the joint project with solar power generation companies and institutes, we have constructed an industry-academic cooperation mechanism for an efficient solar power development project," and "This will be an opportunity to utilize the college building roof to create additional value in the renewable energy sector, and take a step closer in the construction of a green campus."
Meanwhile, this agreement was signed as a follow-up project to the agreement made between YU and KOSEP to cooperate in renewable energy research and development projects while signing the 'MOU for leading global social responsibility activities' in June 2013'.
