Phnom Penh: Samdech Techo Hun Sen, President of the Cambodian Senate, considers the more than 400 megawatt hydropower plant in Stung Treng province to be a type of heavy industry that has supplied electricity to many provinces.
During a meeting with councilors and officials in Stung Treng province on July 9, 2026, Samdech Techo said that Stung Treng province has a heavy industry, the Lower Sesan 2 Hydropower Plant, which the Samdech Techo considered to be a type of heavy industry that has pushed the use of hydropower to the lower reaches.
At the same time, Samdech Techo said that in the past, no one would have thought that Stung Treng Province had a bridge across the Kong River and a bridge across the Mekong River, but now it has emerged as a prominent feature on the surface of both rivers. In addition to these two bridges, Stung Treng also has several national roads connecting to Ratanakiri and Preah Vihear provinces.
Samdech Techo stated that Cambodia still adheres to the policy of “slow but not backward”.
Please note that the hydropower plant with a capacity of more than 400 megawatts located at the confluence of the Sesan and Srepok rivers in Sesan district, Stung Treng province is the Lower Sesan 2 Hydropower Plant, which is the largest hydroelectric power source in the Kingdom of Cambodia and helps increase national energy stability, reduce electricity imports from neighboring countries, and provide affordable green energy to citizens.
