Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/03/2015 -- The major players in Asian power supply are clamouring to invest in Cambodia, with the result that huge capacity expansion can be expected from about 2015, as hydro - , gas - and coal-based schemes are introduced. This should leave the country with plentiful spare generation. Neighbouring Vietnam, which will finance a number of power projects, plans to make good use of Cambodia's potential export capability, as does Thailand if a major coal-fired scheme comes to fruition.

Hydropower expansion is already under way in Cambodia and there is a long queue of potential projects with strong regional backing. Several are set to proceed, with a surge in hydro-based power due from about 2016. Domestic gas resources could contribute additional capacity, while the use of renewables is set to rise rapidly, albeit from a low base. Coal-fired stations are also in the planning stages, with Cambodia open to the long-term possibility of nuclear energy.

Latest Updates And Structural Trends

BMI puts Cambodian power generation in 2016 at 4.3TWh, up an estimated 5.4% on the previous year. Overall thermal generation is estimated to rise by 1.6% in 2016, an acceleration from an estimated 1.3% growth in 2015, reflecting the expansion of oil-fired supply, as gas and coal are not yet part of the power mix.

BMI forecasts average annual growth of around 7.3% between 2016-2024. The population is expected to rise from the current level of 15.8mn to 17.7mn during the period to 2024, and net power consumption looks set to increase from an estimated 4.5TWh in 2015 to 8.6TWh by 2024. During the period 2016-2024, the average annual growth rate for electricity demand is forecast at 8.6%.
