TOKYO, March 3 (Reuters) - Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group 8316.T will likely to halt all new financing to coal-fired power plants, including the most efficient ones, two sources said, reflecting the growing pressure from investors and environmentalists on Japan's lenders to cut funding to coal.

路透东京3月3日电- - -日本三井住友金融集团8316。两名消息人士表示，日本政府可能会停止向燃煤电厂提供所有新的融资，包括那些效率最高的电厂，这反映出投资者和环保人士对日本贷款机构越来越大的压力，要求它们削减对煤炭的融资。

While SMFG has said it would not finance new coal-fired power plants in principle, up until now it hasn't ruled out funding projects seen as more environmentally friendly, such as so-called "ultra-supercritical (USC) power plants" that burn coal more efficiently than older designs.

虽然三井住持表示，原则上不会为新的燃煤电厂提供融资，但迄今为止，它还没有排除资助那些被视为更环保的项目，比如比旧设计燃煤效率更高的所谓“超超临界(USC)电厂”。

It is now likely to remove that exception from its lending policy, meaning a complete stop of new finance to coal plants, said the sources, who declined to be named as the information is not public.

消息人士称，现在很可能从其贷款政策中删除这一例外情况，这意味着对燃煤电厂的新融资将完全停止。
