PURSAT, Cambodia, June 23 (Xinhua) — Chinese-invested Cambodian Power Grid Co., Ltd. (CPG) has played a crucial role in ensuring a stable power supply in Cambodia while serving as a key platform for technology transfer to local professionals.<\/p>\n

Commercially operated since February 2013, CPG’s 230 kV high-voltage transmission line delivers electricity from the 120-megawatt Stung Atay Hydropower Plant in Pursat Province, as well as other hydropower stations, to multiple provinces across Cambodia, including Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, Pursat and Battambang.<\/p>\n

The Stung Atay Hydropower Plant was developed by Cambodia Hydropower Development Co. Ltd. (CHD), a subsidiary of China Datang Corporation.<\/p>\n

CPG power system operator Im Chhun said that both CPG and CHD ensure a reliable energy supply while facilitating the transfer of technical expertise from Chinese specialists to Cambodian staff.<\/p>\n

“These power projects have provided significant advantages and strongly promoted Cambodia’s development,” he told Xinhua in a recent interview. “CPG and CHD play a vital role in delivering stable electricity to support the country’s development across all sectors.”<\/p>\n

According to Chhun, CPG has adopted advanced technologies to guarantee a stable power supply and employees have received comprehensive training to operate high-tech equipment.<\/p>\n

“Currently, we can use robots to monitor equipment temperatures and operational status, and those robots will report directly to on-duty operators,” he said. “We also use AI to assess damage and analyze weather forecasts, which are critical to power production.”<\/p>\n

Chhun said that before joining CPG, employees received technical training as well as Chinese and English language courses.<\/p>\n

“CPG and CHD offer extensive opportunities for personnel to develop technical expertise, language proficiency, teamwork and leadership skills,” he said.<\/p>\n

CPG’s transmission line supervisor Prak Tithyarith said his responsibilities include overseeing the 230 kV transmission line stretching 294 km from Phnom Penh to Battambang.<\/p>\n

“Nowadays, advanced technologies have greatly reduced our workload,” he told Xinhua.<\/p>\n

“In the past, workers had to patrol transmission lines manually during floods or in difficult terrain. Today, such patrols are no longer necessary, as drones are used instead,” he added.<\/p>\n

Tithyarith noted that lasers are employed during maintenance to remove kites flown by residents that become entangled in power lines, as well as bird nests built on power poles.<\/p>\n

“There is no need for us to climb poles to remove them anymore,” he said.<\/p>\n

Tithyarith recalled that when he first joined the company, he knew very little, but his Chinese colleagues had taught him a lot about patrolling power transmission lines.<\/p>\n

“I am deeply satisfied with this job because it allows me to directly serve the Cambodian people,” he said.<\/p>\n

CPG’s substation operator Kong Phon said the company provided six months of technical and Chinese language training before he began work.<\/p>\n

“I truly enjoy working here,” he told Xinhua, adding that the company offers employees competitive wages, accommodation and meals.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the working atmosphere, Phon said Cambodian and Chinese colleagues maintain close communication, forming relationships akin to those of family members.<\/p>\n

“We get along very well, just like brothers or close friends,” Phon said. ■<\/span><\/p>\n
