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 known about the country's potential resources. The economically exploitable hydroelectric resources of the country are estimated at about 19.2 GWh, while no crude oil or natural gas resources are recorded.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity prices are among the highest in the ASEAN region. They are around US$15c/kWh for both households and industry (2021).
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 0.49 toe in 2020, including about 651 kWh of electricity. This is relatively low compared to neighbouring countries.
Total consumption increased rapidly over 2008-2019, at around 6%/year before slowing down in 2020 to 8.2 Mtoe.
Issues & Prospects
In 2019, ADB confirmed a 5-year country partnership strategy (CPS) 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.
