Prayut suspends Bt40-bn Cambodian dam project
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, who is scheduled to visit Cambodia tomorrow, has ordered a suspension of the Bt40-billion project to buy electricity and fresh water from Cambodia’s Stung Nam hydropower scheme.
Prasert Sinsukprasert, deputy chief of the National Energy Policy Office, said the premier wanted the Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives Ministry to review the country’s demand for fresh water over the next decade before going ahead with the controversial Cambodian project.
