Economics Minister Shen Jong-chin (沈榮津) said Monday that the government will revoke an environmental impact assessment (EIA) that gave the go-ahead for Taiwan Power Co. to re-open and expand the Shenao coal-fired power plant.
The move comes after lawmakers from across party lines called on the Cabinet to terminate the project by revoking all administrative approvals granted since 2006.
Environmental groups are backing the move.
According to the economics minister, approval to terminate the EIA should be completed within two months after the Cabinet receives a formal application by Taipower to stop the project. [FULL STYORY]
