Phnom Penh (VNA) – Viet Nam has decided to invested 600 million USD to build two hydro power plants on the lower Se San river in Cambodia’s Ratanakiri and Kratie provinces. The Lower Se San 1 and Lower Se San 2 hydro power plants are designed to have a combined capacity of over 500MW, according to the Cambodian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy. Documents to this effect were signed last June by representatives from the Cambodian Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy and the Electricity of Viet Nam. Once completed, the two plants with a combined output of 2 billion kWh per year will ensure the supply of electricity for several areas in Cambodia and export to Viet Nam. Tun San, Chief of the Cambodian Electricity General Department, said that Cambodia will construct a series of thermal and hydro power plants, providing electricity for nearly 20 industrial zones. Viet Nam’s investment in construction of hydro-power plants would help Cambodia solve electricity supply for industrial zones and agricultural production areas, according to Tun San.-Enditem
