800MW

                                             GAS POWER PLANT











                 It has been approved for development in Koh Kong’s Botum Sakor district by the Cabinet.
                 The $1.5 billion investment in the Independent Power Producer (IPP) plant. It will take about
                 four years to complete and 80 percent – 4,765.44 million – kilowatt hours a year of the
                 power generated by the power plant will be sold to the Electricite Du Cambodge (EDC).
                 This plant is expected to start generating power by the end of 2025. The company has
                 been mandated to undertake a rigorous environmental impact assessment on the
                 proposed project site, including where the jetty is to be constructed as well as pollution
                 control.

                 The project has a 35-year operating licence and is to be undertaken on a “build - own
                 operate” basis. This is the second power plant project being undertaken by Royal  Group.
                 The first is the 400 MWs Lower Sesan 2 hydropower plant, located at Stung Treng. This was
                 o cially inaugurated by Prime Minister Hun Sen in December 2018 and has an  investment
                 capital estimated at $920 million. By pushing the boundaries of power plant design in this
                 manner, the fossil fuel industry will ensure that clean gas continues to play a pivotal role in
                 the global energy mixture to the middle of the century and beyond.
