Research and Markets: Cambodia Power Report Q1 2012: Huge Expansion of Capacity Can Be Expected from around 2015 Onwards

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/0557af/cambodia_power_rep) has announced the addition of the "Cambodia Power Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

The major players in Asian power supply are clamouring to invest in Cambodia, with the result being that huge expansion of capacity can be expected from around 2015 onwards, as hydro-, gas-, and coal-based schemes are brought into play. This will leave the country with plentiful spare generation, even if there are several years of 8-10% annual average demand growth. Neighbouring Vietnam, which will finance a number of power projects, plans to make use of Cambodia's export capability.

Business Monitor International's Cambodia Power Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, power associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Cambodia's power industry.

Hydropower expansion is already underway and there is a long queue of potential projects with strong regional backing. Several are set to proceed, with a surge in hydro-based supply likely from around 2016. Domestic gas resources could contribute additional capacity, while the use of renewables is set to rise rapidly from a low base. New coal-fired stations are also in the planning stage, with Cambodia keeping a long-term eye on the possible use of nuclear energy.

Key trends and recent developments in the Cambodian electricity market include:

• During the period 2011-2016, Cambodia's overall power generation is expected to increase by an annual average of 42.0%, reaching 7.4TWh.
• In 2010-2019, some 2GW of power generating capacity is planned to be added to the network and new transmission and distribution infrastructure is to be built.
• Following an increase in 2011 real GDP of an estimated 4.50%, BMI forecasts average annual growth of 6.90% between 2011 and 2021.
• Thanks to the forecast rapid rise in net generation, growth of which significantly exceeds the underlying demand trend, Cambodia should develop a large supply surplus that provides the basis for sustainable power exports.
