South Korean solar-power generators filed a lawsuit Thursday seeking to stop the government from forcing them to curtail output at their plants.

A dozen producers who run small-scale solar farms on the tropical island of Jeju are suing state-owned Korea Electric Power Corp., national grid operator Korea Power Exchange and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, saying they were forced to cut back operations without clear explanation.
