China Huadian Hong Kong will construct Cambodia's Orussei hydropower station in Koh Kong province and the project will be completed in 2013, Yun Gongmin, general manager of China Huadian Corporation (Huadian Group) said Wednesday in Phnom Penh.
Yun made the remarks when Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen met him on Wednesday, focusing on the cooperation on hydropower construction in Cambodia.
Hun Sen said during the meeting that Chinese enterprises' investment in the construction of Cambodia's hydropower station will be sure to help the development of the country.
Yun Gongmin briefed Hun Sen on China Huadian Group, saying that Huadian Group is a state-owned enterprise, and it is engaged mainly in the business of development, investment, construction, operation and management in the fields of electric power, thermal power production and sales, development of new energy and technology.
"In recent years, the corporation responds the government's call to 'go global' to invest and build power stations abroad," he added.
Yun said that China Huadian Hong Kong will construct Cambodia's Orussei hydropower station in Koh Kong province, and will ensure the project be completed on schedule with high quality.
Hun Sen thanked Chinese government's long-term valuable assistance and support for the construction and development of Cambodia, especially in infrastructure. He believed that the powerful state-owned Huadian Group could make the Orussei Hydropower Development Project successful, so that the people of Cambodia can use cheap electricity as early as possible.
Under Huadian's contract of a 30-year construction-operate- transfer (BOT) with the local government, the company will begin construction of 558 million US dollars hydropower plant soon with the total installed capacity of 338 MW. The total power generation is about 1.02 billion kwh.
The hydropower project is located in Cambodia's western province of Koh Kong, about 180 km of Phnom Penh. The power plant will be completed by 2013.
