Siang Phong is a 2 MW waste power plant in Tay Ninh, Cambodia. It is operated by Siang Phong Agriculture Development Co. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 2.8k homes (estimated). It ranks #27 of 27 Cambodia power plants by installed capacity. Commissioned in 2014, it is around 12 years old — relatively modern. In context, the national grid averages 499 gCO₂/kWh (40.9% low-carbon) (2025).

In context: how this plant compares
Waste-to-energy plants burn municipal solid waste to generate electricity and heat, cutting landfill volume while recovering energy from residual waste.
Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.

Local climate & thermal context
This waste plant recovers energy by combusting municipal or industrial waste. It sits in a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen Am) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 11.8°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
This site has effectively no heating season (tropical/equatorial climate), so winter heat loss is not the driver here. The thermal concern shifts to year-round process heat and humidity/heat-driven corrosion of hot equipment.
Climate normals: WorldClim 2.1 (1970–2000 monthly normals, 10 arc-min, CC BY 4.0); zone: Köppen-Geiger world climate classification (Kottek et al. 2006, 0.5° grid). Degree-days & heat-demand index computed by PowerAtlas — a modelled heat-demand proxy, not a measured site figure.
Site climate & environmental severity
This site sits in a moderately corrosive environment (estimated ISO 9223 class C3 — Medium), with humidity / wetness the leading environmental stress.
Indicative estimate via the ISO 9223:2012 informative method (atmospheric corrosivity from temperature, time-of-wetness and airborne salinity), using WorldClim climate normals, the Köppen-Geiger class and coast distance. Indicative, not a measured corrosion rate.
