Dr. Praeng Jalsa, the Royal Government of Cambodia delegate in charge of the General Director of Electricite du Cambodge, has confirmed that Cambodia plans to launch its first 150-megawatt wind power plant in Mondulkiri province in 2026, for which an agreement has already been signed.
This statement by Dr. Praang was made at a meeting of Electricite du Cambodge employees under the chairmanship of Mr. Keo Ratanak, Minister of Mines and Energy, at the headquarters of Electricite du Cambodge on the morning of September 3, 2025.
Dr. Prang stated, “Soon, we will have 900 megawatts of wind power in Mondulkiri province, which has already signed agreements, with the first 150 megawatts planned to be commissioned in 2026, and including the development of other renewable sources.”
In addition, Dr. Praang Jalsa said that Electricity of Cambodia will implement the Royal Government’s direction, which requires at least 70 percent of clean, green energy by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2050, as a contribution to preserving the environment and the planet to remain healthy for a long time to come.
Dr. Praang Jalsa said that currently and in the future, Cambodia has developed a lot of renewable sources, especially variable types that change with the weather and cannot be controlled, such as: energy production from sunlight and wind, etc.
According to the Director General of Electricity of Cambodia, Cambodia currently has over 5,000 megawatts of energy resources, of which about 60 percent are renewable energy sources such as hydroelectricity, biomass, and solar power plants.
Dr. Prang Jalsa stated that this energy source has supplied the maximum annual demand of 3,371 megawatts in 2025 on August 8, 2025 in the national system, or a total of approximately 3,400 megawatts, including small imports of electricity from the Vietnam and Laos border crossings.
It is worth noting that the wind power generation project in Mondulkiri Province is operated by the French company Blue Circle, a company that has been developing, financing, and operating renewable energy projects in Southeast Asia since 2013.
