| Renewable Energy Rural
Electrification in Cambodia
The Government of
Cambodia aims at providing grid-quality electricity to 70% of the rural
population by 2030.
The objective of
the project was to develop and evaluate renewable energy (RE) options for
this electrification effort. Specifically, the project intended to:
 | Assess and map RE resources (biomass,
wind, solar, mini-hydro and micro-hydro) |
| Evaluate the potential contribution of
these resources |
| Identify major clusters of villages where
RE supply could be established |
| Estimate the market potential of RE in
rural electricity markets |
| Propose policy interventions and an
enabling institutional framework, in line with the national rural
electrification and RE master plans |
| Conduct feasibility studies and
demonstration projects in the selected clusters |
| Propose pricing options for RE-based rural
electricity generation, both on-grid and off-grid |
| Generate a pipeline of RE projects which
could be facilitated for private financing by local, ASEAN and European
investors. |
The project was implemented by the Cambodian
Research Center for Development (Cambodia), Risoe National Laboratory
(Denmark), Centre Research Agronomique-Wallonie (Belgium), and Emerging
Power Partners (Finland). The project is co-financed by the EC-ASEAN Energy
Facility.
