6 FAQs about [Cambodia field solar panels]

Does Cambodia have solar power?

However, considering the country’s historical energy mix, the existing solar capacity appears positive. As of 2011, Cambodia had no solar power plants, and solar energy was not a part of the country’s energy mix. Cambodia’s current installed solar capacity is slightly over 400 MW, but the country is targeting 3.1 GW by 2040.

Will solar power be a key part of Cambodia's Power Development Plan?

The country recently approved the Power Development Masterplan (2021–2040), covering an inspiring goal of increasing solar PV capacity to 1,000 MW by 2030 and 3,000 MW by 2040. Solar generation will need to be a key part of Cambodia's efforts to expand access to affordable power while also transitioning to cleaner energy.

How much does solar energy cost in Cambodia?

One of the promising traits of solar energy in Cambodia is its cost. The average electricity price for solar power is around USD 0.03 per kW, significantly lower than that of coal, which is USD 7.7 per kW.

How many energy projects are coming to Cambodia?

The Cambodian Cabinet approved four energy projects this past April, a US$231 million hydroelectric power and three solar power projects with a combined, rated, maximum power capacity of 140 MW. The latter are expected to come online and dispatch power to the national grid by 2020 and 2021 in four different provinces.

Can solar power help Cambodia achieve national electrification goals?

Searching for alternative options, Cambodia joins a growing list of national governments who have come around to seeing solar and other distributed, emissions-free renewable energy resources as a cost-effective means of achieving national electrification, as well as national and international climate change and renewable energy, goals.

Why is solar development important in Cambodia?

Solar development will increase investment in modernising the existing energy infrastructure. Plus, off-grid solar and micro-grids will help electrify rural regions that often face the largest energy access issues. Finally, Cambodia’s energy prices are some of the highest in the ASEAN.
