Minister: Approval of environment ministry requisite to establish coal-run power plant
Environment Minister Khalid Fahmy
Cairo - MENA
Environment Minister Khalid Fahmy said on Thursday that the cabinet agreed not to build any coal-run power station without obtaining the approval of his ministry.
Speaking to MENA, Fahmy said no environmental studies have been made so far to establish coal-run power stations, noting that contacts are underway with investors on that score.
"It takes three to four years to establish a power plant," he said. "Environmental requirements are taken into consideration when choosing locations of power plants."
Fahmy stressed the coal-run power stations will be established in remote areas to maintain health of citizens.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
