As of 2020, the Republic of Korea supplies city gas with LNG as a raw material to all regions except Jeju Island. Jeju Island uses LPG/Air system. City gas is supplied to consumers as fuel gas through pipelines. City gas rates used by many citizens can be conveniently viewed through the Internet.
Korea’s city gas is widely used throughout the country for not only domestic, but also industrial and business purposes. It is a city gas that covers essential areas of daily life for domestic hot water supply, heating, and cooking. Natural gas used for city gas has been with the history of mankind. It is said to have been used by humans for 5,000 years, and it is said that ancient primitive people called natural gas as a burning spring or an eternal lamp. *A little common sense before inquiring city gas rates* 도시가스 요금 조회
Before looking at the city gas price inquiry method, I briefly looked into the use of city gas. 좋은뉴스
City gas price inquiry
How to check online
Currently, the city gas price inquiry in Korea is divided by region. Since each company operates its own website, it may be difficult to inquire about city gas rates. You can inquire about city gas rates by accessing the Korea City Gas Association and checking them one by one.
* First. City Gas Company – Click on City Gas Company Status on the top menu of the Korea City Gas Association *
* Second. Select your city gas company by checking your location on the map of Korea *
There are so many different companies that supply city gas. I don’t know if this is good. I have a belief that it would be better for the government to directly manage public goods at the level of city gas. There are 7 companies in the metropolitan area alone, and places with a small population like Chungcheongbuk-do are divided into two. If all city gas supplier companies collaborate and integrate into one website, people will be able to see it more conveniently.
* third. Click the website address in the information of the selected city gas company *
If you select each local city gas company, the head office location, representative phone number, basic information, and company introduction are briefly displayed. The detailed supply region is also indicated here, so you can check if it is correct for your region. Click the website address to inquire about city gas rates.
* fourth. Select rate inquiry from the website menu of the relevant city gas company *
I visited Gangwon City Gas, Seoul City Gas Co., Ltd., Jeju City Gas, and CNCITY Energy, which supplies city gas to Daejeon. Obviously, the website of Seoul City Gas Co., Ltd. is clean and intuitive. Others show a neat screen composition and a convenient interface, but Jeju City Gas maintained an old-fashioned design.
* Fifth. Enter the requested information in the rate inquiry menu and search *
(Check the usage contract number – you can check it on the past receipt)
Go to Korea City Gas Association :: Click
City gas companies across the country each have different homepages and show slightly different interfaces. However, there seems to be no problem since most of the menus are arranged so that users can easily click on the city gas price inquiry menu when accessing the website. However, some local companies allow you to view city gas rates without logging in, but there are quite a few areas where you can only view city gas rates by logging in. Once you sign up, you don’t have to repeat it twice, so please use this opportunity to conveniently view rates by signing up for your local city gas company’s website.
Name of city gas company by region
Since city gas companies are so diverse nationwide and their names are not regular, the table below summarizes the company names, supply areas, and representative phone numbers. It is also a good way to find your area and make various inquiries, such as how to inquire about city gas rates, through a representative phone number.

City gas is an essential public utility project that is as important as electricity and water and sewage to people’s lives. City gas is also an industry that needs to be developed in the future as a clean raw material that hardly generates air polluting substances. However, as it is a business that requires a huge initial investment, it is not a business that anyone can do easily. City gas, a national key industry in which a huge amount of more than 300 billion won is being invested every year even now, let’s use it properly and safely.
