(Reuters file photo)BEIJING - China's energy regulator on Monday said it was raising its targets for curbing coal-fired power capacity over the next few years, as the world's No.2 economy continues its drive against pollution. The transcript showed that China's biggest coal miner, Shenhua Group, plans to delay production from nearly all its coal-fired plants that are currently under construction. It also showed that eight China Datang Power projects have been suspended in 2017. Both Shanhua and China Datang were not immediately available for comment.
