Authorities from the central highland province of Kon Tum officially cancelled seven hydroelectric plant projects yesterday because of their low profits and negative environmental impact.
The cancelled projects include Dak Xo Rach 3, Dak Xo Rach 4, Ngoc Tem which were produced by Hoang Anh Gia Lai company, Dak Man of Tu81 Cuong company, Nuoc Chim of Minh Chien company, Dak Plo of Dai Phat and Dak Ro Ke of Trung Dong company.
Representative from Kon Tum People’s Committee said the committee would continue to inspect plans to build small and medium scaled plants in the region. Projects that were environmentally unsound and detrimental to society, especially those that took up a large area of land, would be eliminated, according to the committee.
