The technology group Wartsila will supply a 200 MW flexible baseload power plant to Cambodia that will help meet the country’s rapidly growing energy demand. Because of the urgent need to increase electricity supply, Wartsila is delivering the plant on a fast track basis. The order with Wartsila was placed in June 2019 by CGGC-UN Power Co, the Chinese state-owned main EPC contractor for the power plant project. The plant, located in Kandal Province near Capital city of Phnom Penh is being built on behalf of Cambodia’s state-owned utility Electricite du Cambodge (EDC). It is expected to become fully operational in 2020.
