The results of a feasibility study on a 100-megawatt solar park conducted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will be available in November, just in time for the private sector to start bidding for the development of the project.

“The study will conclude in November, and the bidding process will start right away,” said Victor Jona, director-general of the Electricity Department.

The specific location for the massive ADB-backed solar park has not been determined yet, but Mr Jona said it will be built somewhere in the border between Kampong Speu and Kampong Chhnang provinces, an area that already has several energy sub-stations.

ADB is expected to provide a concessional loan for the development of the project, which will include climate finance from the Climate Investment Funds.
