Power Shortage To Cement Cambodia Hydro And Coal Power Expansion Drive
We have downwardly revised our short-term hydropower generation forecasts in Cambodia, from 4.46 TWh to 3.06TWh in 2019 as recent droughts have threatened Cambodia’s hydropower output reliability.
In the immediate term, we expect Cambodia to import more electricity from neighbouring states to meet the power shortage.
Despite current drought challenges, we maintain a positive long-term growth outlook for Cambodia’s hydropower sector as we expect the country to continue ramping up their hydropower capacity and generation to meet rising power demand and consumption.
