A China-funded power transmission system in the length of 100 km was inaugurated in southern Cambodia on Thursday after four years of construction, officials said. Cambodian Minister of Mines and Energy Suy Sem and Chinese Ambassador to Cambodia Bu Jianguo jointly unveiled the project.

The project included two substations and a 230-kilovolt transmission line and a 115-kilovolt line, which stretch across southern Kandal Province, southwestern Kampong Speu Province and Phnom Penh capital.

The project was built by the Chinese Co., at the cost of 83.4 million U.S. dollars in which 75.9 million U.S. dollars (or 91 percent) was a concessional loan from the Chinese government and the remaining amount was met by the Cambodian government.
