摘要

Swedish power company Vattenfall’s 630 MW Hemweg 8 coal-fired unit in Amsterdam is set to close January 1, 2020, five years earlier than planned, Dutch energy minister Eric Wiebes said Friday. The cabinet of the Netherlands passed the ministry’s proposed measure in order to comply with the country’s 2020 carbon emission targets and honor the Urgenda Foundation ruling on the same subject, the ministry said in a statement.
