Background on Project
The Han Seng coal mine, owned by Han Seng Coal Mine Company, is an operating mine, designed to produce approximately 1 million tonnes of coal per annum in Oddar Meanchey Province, Cambodia.
The mine supplies coal to the Han Seng power station.
In January 2021, the first phase of the mine began operating. It currently supplies coal to nearby brick factories until the power plant completes construction around the end of 2022.[1]
Cambodian mineral exploration company Han Seng Coal Mine has proposed a 2 x 100MW coal plant in Oddar Meanchey Province, Cambodia. Unit 1 is planned for operation in November 2020 and unit 2 in November 2021.[2]
In March 2020, it was reported the plant would generate 130 MW in 2021 and increase to 265 MW in 2022. The National Assembly of Cambodia has approved a draft provision of a state guarantee for the power project. If built, the plant will be the first in the country to use coal from Cambodia.[3]
In October 2020, the Council for the Development of Cambodia approved an investment certificate for the plant.[4]
Financing
In February 2020, it was announced that the total investment capital for the project would be $294.30 million, "of which 30 per cent is from the company’s fund and the remaining 70 per cent is a bank loan with an interest rate of 6.5 per cent," but the source of the loan is not provided.[5]
