Two generators worth some $400 million that the government bought from Finland and Germany earlier this year will generate an additional 400MW of electricity by June 2020, which will help reduce dry season power shortages., Cambodia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy, H.E.Victor Jona said on 2nd December 2019.
MR. Jona, the Director General of General Department of Energy ministry said that both generators are to be installed at a power plant in Kandal province’s Lvea Em district, according to The Khmer Post.
They will initially generate 100MW in April, and the full 400MW by June, he said.
“I am optimistic that the supply of electricity will be better in next year’s dry season than the previous one, when we experienced two months of shortages,” Jona said.
