Please refer to my HP which involves relevant mapshttp://my.reset.jp/~adachihayao/indexE.htm?lang=en

In Cambodia, after the peace process since 1992, mainly in Phnom Penh, Japan and several governments and institution in Japan had cooperated in the reconstruction of power. Eventually, it has been said that it is necessary to expand the country-wide studies. However, because of security and land mines, it did not happen. In today's report, after long awaited, JIVA, Japan finally decided to expand the study and the power of the investigation report on the development is completed.

Today's report came from China's Xinhua. It means that the Cambodian Ministry of Industry, Mine and Energy (MIME) is surrounded by many Chinese technical teams. During the JICA study on the development of the southwestern Cambodia, Cardamon Mountains, China's hydropower projects are moving.

Cambodia, as a means of emergency in the 1990s, many diesel generators were mounted. For the diesel generators, power had to set a higher rate. To this end, Cambodia's electricity rates, along with Japan and the Philippines, in Asia, have a higher rate. In order to solve this effort for many, but for large-scale development was difficult because of the demand for electricity; today came up with a high rate.

We also temporary, southwestern Cambodia, near the border with Thailand, to build a large-scale coal-fired sent to Thailand, some thought the plan to consumers in Cambodia. Japan's Chugoku Electric Power was hit in the survey, sponsored that did not last. The proposed coal-fired, was handed over to Thai companies, have survived; we are listening. On the other hand, at the same time momentum, the Chinese team's technology is running for development of hydropower in southwestern.

In any large-scale projects in recent years is difficult to realize upon the Cambodian government, and the expectations of the people responsible for the goal. By 2020, from any means, the nation shall send electricity to all villages. In 2030, 70 percent of households shall be connected to the nation's power grid to receive power from. We are well aware of the Cambodian government's efforts official and we pray for there success.
