The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a USD52.72 million loan to support Cambodia’s Grid Expansion Project to integrate more renewable energy into the national grid and meet rising power demand through clean energy sources.
The project includes the construction of 55 km of 230 kV transmission lines between Pursat and Kampong Chhnang, along with upgrades to nine substations across the country. It aligns with Cambodia’s Power Development Master Plan (2022–2040) and National Energy Efficiency Policy (2022–2030), and is expected to reduce transmission losses and enhance energy security.
