Ministry suspends key projects
The fate of a 200-billion Yuan ($29.33 billion) investment in eight hydropower stations along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River is in question, as the national environmental watchdog has blocked it citing environmental concerns. The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) yesterday suspended the approval for hydropower projects along the middle reaches of Jinsha River, after finding that two dams had been illegally constructed on it. The Ludila hydropower project by Huadian Power, and the Longkaikou project by
Huaneng Power, both located in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, blocked the river for the construction effort in January, without reviewing their environmental impact, Tao Detian, MEP's spokesman said.
