 - Mr. Tran Dinh Nhan - General Director and the mission of Electricity of Vietnam (EVN) just had a working meeting at the Electricity of Cambodia (EDC) in Phnom Penh. At the meeting, the two sides discussed the plan for the expansion of electricity trading cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia in the coming time.

According to Mr. Keo Rottanak – EDC General Director, in many recent years, EVN and EDC exchanged energy through a number of connection points in the border area. EVN is still supplying electricity to the capital Phnom Penh under the power purchase contracts between EVN and EDC by the medium-voltage lines (35 kV, 22 kV) along the Vietnam-Cambodia border and 220 kV Chau Doc - Ta Keo transmission line(from Chau Doc 220 kV substation in An Giang province, Vietnam, to Ta Keo 220 kV substation on the Cambodian side).

Mr. Keo Rottanak expressed his desire to continuously cooperate with EVN in connecting the power grid and supplying electricity. On the other hand, he also desired to strengthen exchanging expertise and techniques between EVN and EDC officials and employees and looked forward to learning from EVN in developing renewable energy projects.
