The Shanxi province in northern China, one of the nation’s top coal producing regions, won’t approve new projects until 2020 to ease a supply glut.
The region won’t add new capacity other than that which is already under construction, the provincial government said in a document published on its website this week. New projects replacing existing capacities will also be allowed to proceed, it said.
