Vietnam has signed a new contract to continue selling electricity to Cambodia, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said Wednesday.
The electricity will be transmitted from southern Vietnam to the border province of Takeo and then to Phnom Penh via a 220-kilovolt line erected by the state-owned Electricity of Vietnam and its Cambodian counterpart, Electricite du Cambodge.
Vietnam started transmitting 400,000 kilowatt hours of electricity a day via this line on May 8. The country expects to increase its annual power sales to Cambodia to up to one billion kilowatt hours, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
By March this year, Cambodia had purchased nearly 309 million kilowatt hours of power from Electricity of Vietnam.
The ministry said Electricity of Vietnam also plans to build hydropower plants in Cambodia.
