As of March 2025, this 485MW/1,940MWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) facility has become operational, storing enough electricity to power 300,000 Cambodian households during peak demand.
In 2023, a 500kW system typically ranges between $250,000 and $500,000. Why the spread? Let's unpack it: Battery Chemistry: Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) dominates now—cheaper and safer than old-school NMC. Installation: Site prep? Permits? Labor? That's another $50k-$80k hiding.
