Background on Plant
In July 2018 it was reported that Cambodia International Investment Development Group (CIIDG) had been given approval to construct a 2 x 350 MW coal plant in Sihanoukville of Steung Hav District. The investment project is under the concession scheme of build-operate-own (BOO) for 35 years. CIIDG is looking for an investment partner for the project; a Chinese firm is reportedly interested. Construction is expected to begin in 2019 and finish by 2023.[1]
In November 2018 it was reported in Chinese media that the 2 x 350 MW subcritical units of the Hunan Chuangyuan power station had been transferred to Cambodia for use in the Sihanoukville CIIDG power station 2.[2] The coal units were forcibly closed in China for violating pollution standards. Transaction records show the two units were sold for 218 million yuan (US$21.7 million) to Chinese company Kasen International, which specializes in used power plant equipment. The company formed a joint venture with a Cambodian real estate mogul to develop the Steung Hav special economic zone (SEZ) in Cambodia, modeled after a SEZ in Shenzhen, China.[3]
In August 2019 it was reported the project was facing delays, with no construction date set, pushing the expected commissioning to 2023-2024.[4]
