Develop plans and progress critical paths (the most important work in the project - PV), send them to the People's Committees of provinces and cities to report to the Ministry of Industry and Trade to preside over inspection and monitoring.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade and the People's Committees of provinces and cities are assigned to urge investors to commit to progress, put power projects into operation 3-6 months early, and strictly handle cases of slow implementation. Localities need to coordinate in site clearance, construction support, and land arrangement for power projects.
For projects that do not have an investor, selection is required in the fourth quarter according to the adjusted Power Plan 8, and related plans must be updated for implementation. The Ministry of Industry and Trade and localities will be fully responsible for any delay.
