○ Selected as one of Asia’s top clean energy leaders at REM Asia 2025, hosted by U.S. nonprofit CRS
○ International recognition of Gyeonggi’s RE100 policy and efforts to boost the renewable energy industry

Gyeonggi Province was recognized as a clean energy leader in Asia at the Renewable Energy Markets (REM) Asia 2025 event held in Singapore from April 29 to 30.

The event, hosted by the U.S.-based nonprofit Center for Resource Solutions (CRS), took place at the Sofitel Singapore City Centre and brought together around 300 stakeholders, including representatives from global companies such as Google and Apple, as well as public institutions. CRS is a trusted authority in North America that operates the Green-e renewable energy certification program.

The selection process began with CRS receiving recommendations on nominees through LinkedIn, the world’s largest social platform for business networking. The next step involved CRS’s internal selection committee, which ultimately decided that Gyeonggi should be a recipient of this year’s award.

This recognition highlights the global impact of Gyeonggi’s proactive renewable energy policies, including the Gyeonggi RE100 initiative, the RE100 policy for industrial complexes, and reforms to improve distance regulations for solar panel installation. Over the past three years, major global companies and organizations such as Meta, Microsoft, and CLP Power Hong Kong have also received this award.

“The winners of this year’s award have all achieved substantial and crucial progress in advancing sustainable energy,” said CRS CEO Jennifer Martin. “Their drive and commitment to expanding renewable energy production and access, and their responsiveness to the demands of rapidly growing businesses, have positioned them as pioneers in the market.”

Kim Yeon-ji, Director of Gyeonggi Province’s Energy Industry Division, said, “It’s a great honor for Gyeonggi to be recognized as a clean energy leader representing Asia,” after attending the award ceremony. She added, “This award strengthens the global credibility of our RE100 policy… We will continue building partnerships with key organizations and businesses across Asia to help Gyeonggi play a leading role in the global renewable energy market.”
