Problème énergie électrique,

une question de réseaux de lignes à

 haute tension ?
Devant les critiques nombreuses venant de toute part contre l'utilisation de la presque la totalité de la production de "notre" l'électricité de Sesan 2 par le Vietnam, on avance le manque de réseaux de lignes à haute tension ! Il y a de l'eau, mais il n'y a pas de récipients pour l'utiliser ! Les Cambodgiens disent "Nous avons de l'or, mais il manque du papier pour l'envelopper !" Le Cambodge a besoin d'électrifier tout le pays, donc la nécessité de construire des lignes à haute tension un peu partout dans le pays. Pourquoi ne pas créer une société cambodgienne spécialisée dans ces constructions ? Pourquoi Royal Group a accepté de donner à la société vietnamienne 51 % du capital ? Est-ce conforme à la législation cambodgienne ? On ne donne jamais à une société étrangère 51 % du capital d'une société travaillant au Cambodge ! Surtout pour une société appartenant à un pays ayant une frontière commune avec le Cambodge ! D'autre part nos compatriotes de la région qui seront déplacés et maltraités, sans compter les énormes dégâts environnementaux ! Nous reproduisons ci-dessous deux articles de Phnom Penh Post concernant : 1/ le problème de l'utilisation du coût de l'électricité du barrage de la Sesan 2. et 2 / De l'importance du coût de l'électricité pour notre développement économique;

1 / Electricity a matter of transmission

Friday, 03 June 2011 15:00
Steve Finch Phnom Penh Post
AMID the debate over hydropower and whether Cambodia should follow a similar path to neighbouring Laos by exploiting its river systems there is one point that government officials, environmentalists and the private sector all seem to agree on – this country needs electricity.
On the surface then, government confirmation this week that the Lower Sesan 2 Dam will export electricity to Vietnam would appear to be against this goal. After all, with some of the lowest rural electrification rates in the region (only North Korea, East Timor and Afghanistan rank lower), why would Cambodia export to Vietnam?
The key problem remains electricity transmission and the costs involved. For the project to be economically viable, developers Electricity of Vietnam International (EVNI) and the Royal Group would appear to have two choices. They could sell the electricity within Cambodia which would require the development of expensive transmission lines and almost certainly funding from third parties.
Or, the two companies could export to neighbouring Vietnam, which has a well-developed grid by comparison. According to the limited information we have on this project so far, it seems the project will attempt to do a combination of both.
Danh Serey, deputy director of the Environment Impact Assessment Department at the Ministry of Environment, gave perhaps the clearest official insight on Tuesday during a conference on the project held in Phnom Penh: “Only the left-over electricity from the use of local people will be sold to Vietnam,” he said.
Without knowing how much will remain in Cambodia, it remains impossible to weigh the domestic costs and benefits of the project. Mark Hanna, chief financial officer of the Royal Group, did not respond to emailed questions on the issue yesterday; neither did Vietnamese Embassy spokesman Le Minh Ngoc.
According to a 2009 study by Ian Baird, a researcher at the University of Michigan in the United States, the Lower Sesan 2 Dam promises to do considerable harm to fish stocks by blocking key tributaries of the Mekong River, the Sesan and Sre Pok. Meanwhile, the benefits remain less clear.
“There are a lot of questions from the business side of things,” Baird told The Post yesterday.
For some time now the government and a host of businesspeople have publically stated that Cambodia’s hydropower trade-off will give the country an improved source of lower-cost electricity with which to boost rural development and key sectors of the economy including agriculture.
We have been told these benefits will outweigh the associated environmental and socio-economic costs of dam construction.
If this is indeed the case, then surely there needs to be some explanation as to how, and how much, electricity will be delivered within Cambodia. Unfortunately, unless the necessary transmission lines are put in place, the reality would appear to be not very much

2 / Kampot province dam will help with power problem

CAMBODIA faces a shortage of electricity, but a hydropower project in Kampot province could help alleviate these concerns when it comes fully on line later this year, according to business people.
Construction of the Kamchay Hydropower Plant had largely wrapped up but work was continuing on connecting the project to the Electricitie Du Cambodge-run national grid, Kim Sovan, a representative of the Sinohydro Kamchay Hydroelectric Company said.
“We have already completed our project here, and we will start our operations by December of this year,” Kim Sovan said yesterday.
The US$280 million project, consisting of three separate hydropower plants, is being built by the Sinohydro Kamchay Hydroelectric Company on the Kamchay River.
The project will be able to generate about 194 megawatts of electricity a year once it comes on line.
The first phase of the project, completed in 2009, is producing about 10 megawatts of electricity a year.
Business leaders yesterday expressed their support for increased domestic electricity generation, saying it would reduce the cost of doing business in Cambodia.
“Of course we appreciate receiving more supply. We still have a shortage of power for production,” Garments Manufacturers Association in Cambodia secretary-general Ken Loo said.
“We see that the power supply situation is much improved on before, but now it is not at 100 per cent.”
Electricity generation is a major concern for the garment industry at present.
Ken Loo said Cambodia’s garment factories faced higher electricity costs than those in neighbouring countries.
This translated to higher operational costs. Insufficient power in much of the country also meant factories were generally located in Phnom Penh.
“Every factory has its own generator, but they don’t want to use them because of the cost,” he said. “They need more power from the state.”
Cambodia Chamber of Commerce director-general Nguon Menh Tech said increasing the availability of electricity would lead to increased investment.
“It could help us attract more investment, because the lack of electricity supply is a main concern,” he said.
Commerce Minister Cham Prasidh told The Post last week that electricity generation was a handicap compared to neighbouring countries, but would be solved as more projects came on line.
“I believe that in less than five years, everything will be almost on par [with Cambodia’s neighbours]. That means we will no longer be under a handicap compared with our neighbours,” he said.
Ith Praing, Secretary of State of Ministry of Mine and Energy, could not be reached for comment yesterday.
