According to the meeting held on 26-29 April 2022, this clean energy project has been planned through the exchange of protocols between the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Royal Government of Japan on 17 February 2022, which provided official channels for technical cooperation.

The energy transition work is divided into two parts: 1) clean energy work and 2) energy efficiency work.
