Cheay Areng Dam

Cambodia

The 2528th largest power station in the world

108 MW · Capacity

Cheay Areng Dam was a proposed 108 MW hydroelectric dam on Areng river in Koh Kong Province in the southwest part of Cambodia (coordinate: 11°37′11″N 103°30′46″E). China Guodian Corporation once intended to build the dam. Sinohydro Resources Ltd, a holding company for Sinohydro Group, was granted approval in February 2014 for six months of extensive drilling, geological mapping and prospecting in the dam concession. The project was shelved in 2017 by Prime Minister Hun Sen due to a strong local opposition to the dam. A new coal plant will be constructed in Preah Sihanouk as a compensation.
