Two Chinese Dams for Koh Kong Under Study

Chinese company asked to re-conduct Koh Kong hydropower study
The government has asked a Chinese firm interested in building two hydropower plants in Koh Kong province to re-conduct the feasibility study for the projects.

China Huadian Lower Stung Russei Chrum Hydroelectric Project (Cambodia) wants to build 100-megawatt and 70-MW dams in the southern province’s Mondul Sima district.

During a meeting Monday with the Ministry of Mines and Energy and the Electricity Authority of Cambodia, the Chinese firm presented the findings of the feasibility study. However, it was told the results were inconclusive and was asked to conduct a new study.

Yim Piseth, EAC chairman, who attended the meeting, said the study submitted by the company was incomplete and that further studies were required.

The hydropower dams are called ‘Stung Veal Thmor Kambot’ and ‘Stung Russei Chrum Kandal’, the ministry pointed out.

China Huadian Lower Stung Russei Chrum Hydroelectric Project (Cambodia) is a subsidiary of China Huadian Corp, who currently operates a 338-MW hydropower dam in the same district where it wants to build the new dams.
