en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Pursat Hydropower Station in Cambodia completed its dam gate closure and reservoir impoundment on June 4, marking the project's entry into the commissioning and unit commissioning sprint phase, laying the foundation for the first unit's grid-connected power generation. Cambodia's Secretary of State for the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Din Norin, General Director of Electricité du Cambodge, Chuorasa, and Chairman of the Board of Pursat Hydropower Development Co., Ltd., Jin Mingji, attended the impoundment ceremony.

Since the project's commencement, the construction team has overcome challenges such as complex geological conditions, high temperatures and rainy climate, and overseas equipment transportation logistics. By coordinating construction resources and strengthening safety and quality control, they have successively completed key milestones including dam filling, face slab pouring, and electromechanical equipment installation, ensuring the project progresses as planned.

Located in the upper reaches of the Pursat River in Pursat Province, Cambodia, the Pursat Hydropower Station is a Class I large (1) water conservancy and hydropower project with a total installed capacity of 80 MW (2×40 MW), a normal water storage level of 180 meters, and a total reservoir capacity of 1.22 billion cubic meters. This project is a key planned clean energy infrastructure in Cambodia and a result of deepened cooperation in the energy sector under the China-Cambodia Belt and Road Initiative. Once operational, the station will provide comprehensive functions including power generation, flood control, and water resource regulation, helping to alleviate Cambodia's power supply pressure and providing stable, green energy security for local economic and social development.
