Highlights
- National electrification is progressing fast, with grid-quality and affordable electricity being the key objectives for the next decade.
- Energy efficiency and solar developments are just starting.
- Most of the electricity capacity is held by around 20 IPPs. Foreign companies dominate the upstream and downstream oil sector.
- The power generation mix is shifting from hydro to coal, with hydro below 50%. Around 1/3 of electricity is imported, mainly from Vietnam.
- Fossil fuel production has just started.
- The price of oil products is rather high compared to neighbouring countries.
- The government has introduced substantial subsidies to contain electricity prices, which remain among the highest in the ASEAN.
- More than half of the total energy consumed is supplied by biomass. The households and services sector is the largest energy end-user.
- Oil production has just started, but the COVID-19 outbreak has restrained prospects from foreign investors.
- Around 700 MW of coal power projects are under construction and lignite-fired electricity imports from Lao PDR will increase over the coming years.
- The transmission grid has been expanded to improve electricity access to end consumers.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) is in charge of the energy policy through the General Department of Energy (GDE).
Energy Supply
Resources:
Little is still known about the country's potential resources. The hydro potential of the country is estimated at about 10 GW. The crude oil resources are estimated at 183 mbl and natural gas resources at around 50 bcm (end of 2019).
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are among the highest in the ASEAN region. They are around US$15c/kWh for households and US$16c/kWh for industry (2019).
There are still wide disparities in tariffs among different provinces because of the absence of a unified national network; in Preah Vihear for example, households pay as much as US$50c/kWh.
Energy Consumption
Per capita energy consumption was 0.54 toe in 2019, including about 600 kWh of electricity. This is relatively low compared to neighbouring countries.
Total consumption has been increasing rapidly since 2008, at around 9%/year and reached 8.9 Mtoe in 2019.
Issues & Prospects
In 2019, ADB confirmed a 5-year country partnership strategy with Cambodia: US$1.45bn will be provided for renewable energy infrastructure and natural resources management, inter alia, with the aim of diversifying the sources of growth and building climate resilience.

In the Cambodia energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.
The Cambodia energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Cambodia country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
Key Data included in the excelsheet:
- Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
- Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
- Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
- Energy Balance: total and per energy.
- Cambodia Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Cambodia energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
The Cambodia country report is complemented with a national power generation dashboard (excel file) from our Power Plant Tracker Service.
Data included in the excelsheet:
- New capacities: Current power mix, installed capacity at date, capacity under construction and under development.
- Power Sector Performances: Historical data on installed capacity, power generation, thermal power plants inputs, average thermal power plant efficiency, CO2 emissions of the power sector, carbon factor of the power sector.
