However, electricity services are still unreliable with poor quality. One major pressing concern is that the existing transmission infrastructure is reaching capacity. At the end of 2019, Cambodia's transmission infrastructure consisted of 2,267 kilometers (km) of 115 kV and 230 kV transmission lines and 36 substations.
In addition, Cambodia's rural electricity enterprises represent an important private-sector-based framework for developing, operating, and maintaining the country's distribution network. However, the estimated transmission investment requirement of $2.27 billion exceeds the financing available from any one partner.
A large number of households still do not have access to electricity in Kampong Chhnang (32.3%), Kampong Cham (13.3%), and Takeo (9.2%) provinces, and those with access face frequent and unpredictable power shortages averaging 2 hours per day.
Output 2: First utility-scale energy storage system provided. The project will support EDC in designing, procuring, and operating the first utility-scale BESS in Cambodia, capable of storing 16 megawatt-hours, and in analyzing its performance.
Cambodia has achieved sustained economic progress. Cambodia's per capita gross national income grew on average by 7.1% per annum from $950 in 2013 to $1,390 in 2018. Strong economic growth was driven mainly by urban-based industries such as garment exports and tourism, and, more recently, construction and real estate.
