CMIP is a 10 MW solar power plant in Kien Giang, Cambodia. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 4,169 homes (estimated). It ranks #12 of 16 Cambodia power plants by installed capacity. As a non-combustion source, it has no direct CO₂ emissions from generation. In context, solar supplies about 10.6% of Cambodia's electricity; the national grid averages 499 gCO₂/kWh (40.9% low-carbon) (2025).

This solar plant converts sunlight directly into electricity with photovoltaic panels. It sits in a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 10.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 100% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 13/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
Solar PV loses ~0.35%/°C above 25°C cell temperature — roughly 1.5% at warm-season highs here (estimate).
