On March 25, the Development of Grid Substation and Transmission Line Project in Sihanouk Ville of Cambodia (the Sihanoukville Project) undertaken by CMIC was successfully put into operation.

The project includes a 230kV transmission line, a 115kV transmission line, a 115kV underground cable, two new 115kV GIS substations and a 230kV AIS expansion station. Since the project passed the employer's acceptance on March 12, the project team has actively communicated with the employer, deployed the electrification plan in advance, and refined the electrification process to ensure the smooth progress of the electrification.

These events marked the successful completion of the electrification task of the project at one time. EDC Vice President Dr.Praing Chulasa expressed full recognition and high praise for the successful completion of the project.
