Blue Circle Eyes Potential 100MW of Wind Power Generation in Cambodia with Plans for Future Expansion

Blue Circle, a global leader in wind power generation, is eyeing significant opportunities for wind energy investment in Cambodia. During a courtesy meeting with Samdech Hun Manet, Prime Minister of Cambodia, in Paris on 15 January, France, Olivier Duguet, President and CEO of Blue Circle, expressed optimism about the country’s potential for sustainable wind power initiatives.

Mr Duguet, detailing the outcomes of a feasibility study conducted by Blue Circle in Cambodia, stated, Our exploration in Asia, including Cambodia, has unveiled promising locations with optimal wind conditions for power generation. We have identified areas in Phnom Bokor, Kampot, and Mondulkiri province that exhibit abundant wind resources suitable for substantial electricity production.”

In the initial phase, Blue Circle aims to generate 100 megawatts of wind power, with plans for future expansions. Seeking collaborative efforts, Mr Duguet conveyed the company’s interest in establishing fruitful partnerships with relevant Cambodian stakeholders and sought the support of the Royal Government for this pioneering wind power venture.

“Cambodia has the potential to tap into renewable energy sources, potentially becoming an exporter of electricity to neighbouring regions,” highlighted Olivier Duguet, underlining the broader positive impacts of such ventures on Cambodia’s energy landscape.

The PM welcomed the initiative, expressing support for the project. He encouraged Blue Circle to engage with local partners, ministries, and institutions to explore possibilities and foster opportunities for wind-powered electricity projects. The collaborative efforts between Blue Circle and Cambodia signify a stride towards a greener and more sustainable energy future for the nation.
