Cambodia’s power development plan sets a strategy for ongoing investment in power generation, along with improved grid capacity and efficiency. Opportunities exist for capable international energy companies to enter the Cambodia market. Asian Insiders offers experience in the economy and energy infrastructure of Cambodia.
Presently, Cambodia’s energy sector is characterised by limited access to electricity in rural areas, reliance on imported energy sources and inadequate infrastructure. Most electricity generation comes from hydropower dams, leaving the country vulnerable to fluctuations in water levels and the impact of climate change.
“The battery energy storage system will showcase how large-scale deployment of innovative technology applications can be used to operate Cambodia’s grid in the future and generate more renewable power.”
Cambodia possesses abundant renewable energy resources, including solar, wind, biomass, and hydropower. Leveraging these resources presents a promising avenue for sustainable energy development. Solar energy holds immense potential, given Cambodia’s tropical climate and ample sunlight throughout the year.
The mandate is part of Cambodia’s strategy to meet its growing energy demand by maximising the adoption of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Cambodia’s Power Development master plan estimates the country’s potential solar capacity to exceed 3GW by 2040.
