The South Korean government recently said that by 2021, South Korea will eliminate six aging coal-fired power plants as an effort to curb air pollution, which is one year
earlier than originally planned.
South Korea, Asia's fourth-largest economy, has nearly 60 coal-fired power plants nationwide that generate about 40 percent of the country's electricity, but coal power has been blamed
for deteriorating air quality.
According to reports, the cumulative installed capacity of these six aging coal-fired power stations is 2.
6 GW, accounting for about 7%
of the domestic installed capacity.
Every year from March to June, South Korea stops the operation of some old coal-fired power plants to reduce air pollution levels, and restricts the operation
of coal-fired power plants when issuing air pollution notices.
Meanwhile, the South Korean government said it would decide in late November to shut down the number of coal-fired power plants between December and March to further reduce the country's air pollution levels
.
In September, South Korea's presidential commission recommended that up to 14 coal-fired power plants be shut down between December and February and up to 27 in March to strengthen South Korea's pollution control measures
