fast-track
This is an expression that perhaps strikes the right tone, given that these are officials or politicians speaking and trying to sound dynamic. It's something of a jargon phrase, colloquial in the same sort of way as the Spanish, I think.
It's used as an adjective and as a transitive verb, so I'd suggest you say "and will fast-track approval of the plant".
"fast-track
transitive verb
to speed up the processing, production, or construction of in order to meet a goal"

"Travel business Thomas Cook Group plc said the Office of Fair Trading has been asked to fast-track approval for its retail travel merger"

It's actually an expression very much associated with getting legislation through the approval process rapidly; in the US they have a "fast-track" process for this purpose (check Google).
