Proposed coal plant
In December 2010, Cambodia's government granted approval for a local company to build a 700-megawatt coal-fired power plant. Cambodia International Investment Development Group Co, Ltd was awarded a 33-year contract to build and operate a $362 million power plant in the coastal province of Preah Sihanouk, the first Cambodian company to undertake such a project. The plant is scheduled to produce 270 megawatts in its first phase, due to be completed by 2015.[1]
In September 2010, Chinese company Erdos Electrical Power & Metallurgical Co. announced plans to build a 700-megawatt coal power plant in the same province. According to Bloomberg, it is not immediately clear if the projects are related.[1]
