The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has announced the implementation of two projects, including an energy efficiency project for Royal Government buildings and a pilot project to supply electricity to villages without electricity through a solar power system connected to a small power supply network.

This is according to the dissemination workshop on 09 June 2022, chaired by HE Dr Ty Norin, Secretary of State of MME and relevant development partners under the financial support of the European Union Climate Change III Program (CCCA III) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

This dissemination contributes to the implementation of the Energy Efficiency Project within the framework of the National Policy on Energy Efficiency in Cambodia and provides clean energy and carbon technology to remote villages that do not yet have access to electricity.

After the workshop, the MME plans to document energy management systems and the development of operational models for small-scale solar power system pilot projects for remote villages, as well as the implementation of energy efficiency projects for government buildings.

In relevant to rural energy supply, Germany has promised to provide EUR30 million (over US$31 million) in loan concession for Energy Efficiency in Rural Supply II Project when the feasibility study of this phase II project has been done. (Read more)
