Renewable energy developer SchneiTec recently announced the launch of a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project with a total storage capacity of 1000 megawatt-hours, making it the largest energy storage project in Cambodia. The project is located at the SchneiTec solar farm in Krakor district of Pursat province and is connected to the national grid to improve power supply stability and reduce the risk of outages and grid fluctuations. According to the company, the system can store excess electricity generated from solar and wind energy during the daytime and release it during nighttime or peak demand periods. This approach helps increase the efficiency of renewable energy utilization. It also supports Cambodia’s transition toward cleaner energy by reducing reliance on fossil fuels. SchneiTec added that the project will introduce advanced grid-forming technology to further enhance grid stability. As Cambodia aims for clean energy to account for 70 percent of its electricity mix by 2030, the project is considered a key step in the country’s energy transition strategy.
