In Cambodia, electricity generation is dominated by hydro power and coal power plants. Power outages are especially common in the dry season, making Cambo ian businesses dependant
Cambodia has huge potential for solar energy, with potential generation of up to 5 kWh/m2/day. Of all the renewable energy sources, solar has the largest regulatory framework. In 2018 the
Cambodia''s solar energy capacity is set to hit 530.14 MW in 2025, making up 7% of national power supply—up from 3.2% in 2023. Discover key projects.
However, considering the country's historical energy mix, the existing solar capacity appears positive. As of 2011, Cambodia had no solar power plants, and solar energy was not a part of the country's energy mix. Cambodia's current installed solar capacity is slightly over 400 MW, but the country is targeting 3.1 GW by 2040.
In 2018, Cambodia introduced a solar generation regulation, a new driver for the country's solar PV system development. Cambodia's grid-scale solar development started with just a 10 MW pilot in 2017.
The Cambodian government has said it will increase its investments in solar energy by 12% by year-end 2020 and by 20% over the next three years, up from less than 1% at present. “So, in 2020, we will have about 15 percent from solar energy, and we will continue to further increase that number,” energy ministry director-general Vitor Jona said.
Cambodia is taking a public-private partnership approach to spur solar energy development, helping meet its demand for energy, and sustainable goals.
Cambodia's recent solar power tender is the first of a two-phase auction process that falls under development of a plan to build a 100-MW National Solar Park in Kampong Chhnang province.
