The locally owned Cambodia International Investment and Development Group (CIIDG) and China Huadian Hong Kong Co Ltd (CHDHK) are partnering to build two coal-fired power plants in Preah Sihanouk province.
With capital investment of around $1 billion, the facilities will be able to produce some 700MW of electricity.
Electricite du Cambodge (EdC) director-general Keo Rattanak said at the signing and groundbreaking ceremony last week that construction will be completed by the end of 2022, with the plants generating power in early 2023. Each facility will be able to produce 350MW.
