A senior mines official from the Cambodian government says Phnom Penh is seeking foreign invesment in its $US3 billion renewable hydro-electricity energy projects.
The secretary of the mines department Ith Prang says the projects are needed to meet the country's increasing energy needs, without relying heavily on energy from oil fuel.
He's told Radio Australia Khmer Service that Cambodia wants foreign investors to invest in its $1.3 billion hydro-electricity project along the Mekong river.
Ith Prang says that until now there has not been any investment in the eastern region of the country while on the western part of the country, Cambodia has received about $1.8 billion in foreign investment.
