GE signs deal with Cambodia to improve power grid


19 December 2014

The U.S.-based conglomerate General Electric (GE) signed an agreement with Cambodia's state- owned Electricite du Cambodge (EdC) on Thursday to help improve the country's power grid.

Through this contract, GE will provide electricity grid maintenance services to EdC and conduct a study of Cambodia's electricity grid to identify ways that the grid can be improved and would help capacity building and enhance grid performance and security. For 5-year contract will cost EdC nearly one million U.S. dollars. According to a report by the World Bank and Asian Development Bank released in October, the high cost of electricity is one of the biggest obstacles for firms doing business in Cambodia.
