Agence Française de Développement (AFD) has provided €300,000 to help Cambodia develop a long-term energy trajectory-modelling tool, according to a press release early this month.

The fund is provided through a program entitled “Energy Sector Modelling Tool for the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Royal Government of Cambodia”, with the aim to support long-term low carbon development plans until 2050.

The project was launched in January 2021 and will be carried out by IED Group and Artelys, with support from IDDRI’s Deep Decarbonisation Pathways Initiative acting as a scientific advisor.

The program will consist of three major tasks including:

1) Develop a robust, user-friendly, energy sector modelling tool, capable of aggregating existing data inputs and studies to model energy supply and demand dynamics across all major energy types.

2) Design and model four long term energy transition scenarios to 2050: Current Policies, Least Cost Development, Sustainable Development and Balanced

3) Accompany stakeholders in mobilising the modelling tool and scenario analysis in decision-making and policy dialogue processes through technical training and capacity building, as well as through consultative working group meetings and the development of policy memos

With this program, AFD expects that Cambodia will develop a better, more sustainable and, more importantly, low-carbon energy plan.
