HANOI (Vietnam News/Asia News Network): Although the most recent draft of the National Power Development Plan actually increased the volume of coal-fired projects in Vietnam, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has said it won't consider developing any new coal-fired plants, to save the environment.
