Construction on a 400 megawatt (mW) heavy fuel oil power project in Kandal province’s Lvea Em district, which was planned to begin operations in the first part of June, will not be able to move forward as planned. The on-going COVID-19 pandemic is causing disruption for the project because essential foreign civil engineers cannot fly to Cambodia to continue their work, said Victor Jona, director-general of energy and spokesperson at the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
