A joint Cambodian-Chinese study is to begin on the possibility of building an 80-megawatt
hydroelectric power plant on the Stung Tatai river in Thmar Bang district, Koh Kong
province. Officials said the Industry Ministry and the state-owned China National
Heavy Machinery Corporation have signed an agreement for the year-long study, which
will include an environmental impact assessment. Koh Kong Governor Yuth Phouthang
told media he hopes the project will improve his province's electricity supply, as
only 20 percent of the province's population has access to electricity and it is
very expensive.
