Summary of Regulation on Solar PV in Cambodia

On 26 January 2018, the EAC issued a set of regulations to clarify the general conditions for installing and operating solar photovoltaic (PV) systems in Cambodia (the Regulations). This alert sets outs a summary of these key

Cambodia Solar Energy Profile

The Cambodian government has said it will increase its investments in solar energy by 12% by year-end 2020 and by 20% over the next three years, up from less than 1% at present. "So, in 2020, we will have about 15 percent from solar energy, and we will continue to further increase that number," energy ministry director-general Vitor Jona said.

6 FAQs about [Cambodia pv solar energy]

Does Cambodia have solar power?

Solar power capacity has been on a sharp ascent in Cambodia recently, increasing at a 10% annual rate from less than 1% of national generation capacity, however. Some 400-MW of solar-fueled power capacity is now connected to the national grid, according to the Department of Mines and Energy.

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 cost in Cambodia?

Installation of rooftop PV is heavily penalized in Cambodia with solar arrays currently charged a monthly capacity fee – around US$0.07/kWh for larger systems and $0.84/kWh for smaller systems, according to the report “Position paper on renewable energy in Cambodia” by the European Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia (EuroChamb).

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.

Is solar PV a good investment opportunity in Cambodia?

Imports from Laos and Thailand will grow, totaling 62.45% and 10.47% of imported energy, respectively, with imports from Vietnam decreasing to 27.08%. According to a recent report by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), there is an estimated $903 million investment opportunity in solar PV in Cambodia.

Can large-scale solar PV be developed in Cambodia?

It is regarded as a convincing example demonstrating the potential to develop cost-effective large-scale solar PV in Cambodia by uniting the public and private sectors. Phase II of the solar park, which totals 40 MW, was tendered in 2020 and awarded to Trina Solar with another record-low price of $0.026 per kWh.
