Solar energy in Cambodia is the country's second most promising clean energy source behind hydropower. Hydropower remains Cambodia's most developed renewable energy source but also has its own challenges – such as yearly variability due to droughts and floods.
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.
The future of solar energy in Cambodia looks promising. With continued investment and support from the government and international partners, the country is well-positioned to achieve its renewable energy targets.
In major Cambodia energy news, the nation plans to expand its solar energy capacity to account for 7% of its total electricity supply by 2025. The Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) projects the country will generate 1.06 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of solar power, a significant increase from the current 0.62 billion kWh.
