The Cambodian government has approved a draft law that will guarantee the state’s purchase of electricity from two large-scale private energy projects. The agreement guarantees that the state will purchase any excess power sent through Alex Corporation’s 220 Km transmission line, that connects the Stung Tatai hydropower dam in Koh Kong province to Phnom Penh, and energy produced by a 150 MW coal-fired plant that the Cambodian Energy II Company Limited is developing in Preah Sihanouk province. The projects are expected to be completed by 2020.
