The consulting assignment for the construction of Cambodia’s 400 MW capacity Lower Se San 2 hydropower plant has been awarded to the global consulting group Pöyry. The assignment involves independent engineering services including construction monitoring and inspection throughout the building period. The Lower Se San 2 hydropower plant project is being implemented by Hydro Power Lower Se San 2 Company Limited, which is a joint venture (JV) of China’s Hydrolancang International Energy Company Limited and Cambodia-based Royal Group. The Lower Se San 2 plant will be located on the Se San river in the north-eastern Steung Traeng province of Cambodia and is being built as part of the country’s efforts to improve access to electricity. It is expected to be operationalised by end-2018.
