Indonesia won’t approve any new coal-fired power plants as it steps up efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
The government will only allow the completion of plants that are already under construction or have reached their financial close, Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry Director-General Rida Mulyana told a parliamentary hearing on Thursday.
