  • Asian Development Bank approved US$63.44 million in financing on 24 June 2026 for a 250 MW/500 MWh grid-forming battery energy storage system (BESS) at Takeo substation in southern Cambodia
  • Financing structure: US$40 million ADB concessional loan, US$5 million Asian Development Fund grant, and US$18.44 million co-financing from the Green Climate Fund and UK Government via the ASEAN Catalytic Green Finance Facility (ACGF)
  • Developer: Royal Government of Cambodia through state utility Electricité du Cambodge (EDC), with procurement bidding open until 20 August 2026
  • Grid-forming (GFM) inverter technology will provide frequency control services traditionally performed by thermal and hydro rotating mass, stabilising Cambodia's grid as variable renewable energy integration increases
  • Applications: Integrating variable renewable energy, facilitating cross-border power trade with Vietnam, and supporting industrial zones, agricultural processing, and urban districts
  • Cambodia targets 70% renewable energy capacity by 2030 under its 2022-2040 Power Development Master Plan, already at 63% (largely hydroelectric), ahead of the ASEAN-wide 35% target
  • Cambodia's first grid-forming BESS (500 MW/1,000 MWh) entered operation in March 2026 in Pursat province, developed by SchneiTec with Huawei technology
