Singapore solar company Sunseap Group has won a government tender to build the first industrial-scale solar farm project in Cambodia that will be connected to the national grid.
It will be built 10km away from Bavet, a special economic zone of Cambodia in the Svay Rieng province.
Sunseap has entered into a 20-year PPA with the state electricity regulator Electricite du Cambodge under a PPP structure.
The solar farm is expected to commence operation by August 2017 and is expected to reduce Cambodia's greenhouse gas emissions by 5,500 tonnes of CO2 a year.
