Publication date 12 June 2019 | 11:40 ICT
Cambodia’s state-run electricity supplier Electricite du Cambodge (EdC) on Tuesday signed an agreement with two Chinese companies to build a $380 million oil and liquefied natural gas power plant in the Kingdom.

A signing ceremony for the 400MW power plant was held by EdC, CGGC-Un Power Co Ltd and China National Heavy Machinery Corporation.

The factory will be built in Koh Reah commune in Kandal province’s Lvea Em district and is set to be completed in 10 months, EdC said.

The agreement under Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) is divided into two parts.

CGGC-Un Power will build the 200MW Finnish Wartsila power plant, with China National Heavy Machinery Corporation installing machinery licensed by Germany’s MAN Energy Solutions, a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG.

The entire project will cost $380 million, with $300 million funded by the government and the rest from EdC.

Some $355 million will be allocated for constructing the plant and $25 million for other infrastructure, EdC said.

The Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) has said Phnom Penh will no longer suffer electricity shortages from next year.

EdC director-general Keo Rattanak, who attended the signing ceremony, said the construction of the power plant came as part of strategies to address energy shortages.
EdC is seeking to boost national electricity production by 1,000MW by the end of next year. “I believe that the [energy situation] next dry season will be better than in this year’s.

Germany's Man Energy Solutions and China National Heavy Machinery Corporation (CHMC) have commissioned a 200 MW dual-fuel power plant near the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, Man said on April 30.

The plant will initially run on heavy fuel oil, however, it will be possible to operate the dual-fuel engines with natural gas in the future, Man said. The plant has been handed over to the national utility, Electricite du Cambodge.

“The plant is located directly on the banks of the Mekong River in the Lvea Aem district in Kandal province, with the potential to add an LNG terminal at a later date,” Martin Hohler, head of power, Asia Pacific at Man Energy Solutions said. “Our engines are designed for natural gas and can switch seamlessly from one fuel type to another during operation.”

The power plant consists of eleven Man 18V51/60DF engines and covers the average energy requirements for around 70,000 households. CHMC was responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the power plant, while Man Energy Solutions took care of the supply and commissioning of the eleven engines and related plant auxiliaries.
