CDC approves solar parks in Kampong Chhnang and Pursat
The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) on Thursday approved the registration of solar park projects in Kampong Chhnang and Pursat provinces.
Both solar farms are an investment of Schneitec Sustainable. Each park will have a capacity of 60 megawatts and will cost $58 million.
One will be built in Pursat province’s Krakor district and will start operations in April next year. The other will be raised in Kampong Chhnang’s Teuk Phos district, due to come online in late 2020.
Since power cuts began in March across the country, the government has approved several energy investments, including a hydropower dam in Pursat province as well as several solar farms across the country.
The government has also increased energy imports from neighbouring countries.
