3 General Background Cambodia is one of the South East Asia country, bordered by Lao PDR in the northeast, by Thailand in the west and the northwest, by Vietnam in the east and south and by Gulf of Thailand in South-West; Become a Member of ASEAN in 29 Apr 1999 Area:181,035Km 2 ; Population: 14 million, 85% living in rural area; Capital: Phnom Penh with 1.2mio. Population; GDP per Capita: US$ 1800 in 2011.

5 General Background Cont e Power supply capacity (2011) : 635MW in total (350MW in Phnom Penh); Power generation(2011) : 2,515 GWh in total (1,714 GWh in Phnom Penh); About 93 % of power facility are DO & HFO generators (rely on imported oil), 3% from Coal & only 4% from RE (3%- HP ; 1%- Biomass); Isolated power system ( 22 not-interconnected power systems in Phnom Penh and provincial towns ); Electricity Consumption per capita (2011): 190kWh ; Electrification Ratio per HH (2011): 34% nationwide ; and only 14% in Rural Areas ( 2010: Lao-70%;Vietnam- 95%;Thailand-99%)

6 Electrified villages in Cambodia in Brown are villages without electricity, Yellow are villages with partial access to electricity

7 Rural Electrification Policy The policy of the RGC on Rural Electrification is to substantially scale-up access to electricity services for rural area where today only 14% of its population has access to electricity services. The important part of Rural Electrification Policy is the mobilization of our Renewable Energy (RE) sources, where they are cost-effective, and the promotion of RE technologies.

8 Rural Electrification Target By 2020, all villages should have access to electricity of different forms including from batteries. By 2030, 70% of rural households should have access to grid quality service (24-hours mini-grids or national grid) Rural Electrification Strategy Grid expansion (extension up to 40 km from 24 provincial centers) Renewable Energy (solar PV,micro/mini hydro, wind, biogas,biomass,biofuel etc ) Cross-border power supply from neighboring countries (Thai, VN, Lao)

9 Renewable Energy Potential and Utilization Cambodia has abundant renewable energy source such as solar, mini/micro hydropower, biomass and other. At present, the development of RE sources is very slow because of the lack of experiences and funds, and inadequate data in this field. The utilization of these sources also is insignificant in the contribution to the total energy supply mix which is mainly based on imported-fuel oil for power generation. Current status of RE Technologies is mainly in research, development and demonstration stage.

14 Government s Initiative undertaken for Promoting RE Development In order to promote RE development, the RGC has formulated Rural Renewable Electricity Policy, Strategy and Plan, where the RGC would put in place an incentive regime, tariff policy, investment and other subsidies and financial plan including set up the Rural Electrification Fund (REF) which promotes a marketdriven, private sector led RE program for Cambodia. Reduction on import tax for (since 2009): - Solar PV component from 30% to 7% - Biomass and Solar water heating component from 15% to 0%

15 Rural Electrification Plan and Investment Cost till 2030 In March 2011,IED(Inovation Énergie Développement) under French TA conducted the study on Sustainable Rural Electrification Plans for Cambodia, the result of this study indicated the Plan and Estimated Cost which Cambodia need for achieving 100% of Villages will have access to electricity of different forms by 2020 and 70% of HH will be connected to grid quality electricity by IED included also RE sources in the Plan such as SHS, community PV, mini/micro hydropower, SBC and biomass gasification. The estimated cost is about 1 Billion US Dollars for the period of 20yrs ( ).
