The government has stopped licensing wind power plants and is drafting a new national power plan for the next decade.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade has told provinces and cities to temporarily stop accepting proposals for new plants.
Power plants with a total capacity of nearly 80 gigawatts have been licensed to be built in the next decade, including 30 GW from wind and solar power plants.

The total capacity of solar power projects registered by investors has become nearly 10 times higher than the targeted level.
