The Electricité du Cambodge (EDC) has obtained a grant from the World Bank’s Grant Facility for Project Preparation (GFPP) under the Cambodia Sustainable Energy Transition Project (CSET) and intends to apply part of the proceeds for consulting services.
- The Project is designed to support the government’s priorities of strengthening the power grid and energy efficiency, while promoting cost-effective demand-side energy management to ensure energy stability, system resilience, and affordability.
- To achieve these outcomes, the proposed Project aims to significantly: (i) strengthen power transmission and distribution infrastructure to increase capacity, enhance reliability; (ii) expand access to modern electricity services in remaining unelectrified rural areas; and (iii) implement energy efficiency and demand-side management measures across industrial and residential sectors. This integrated model reflects the direction outlined in Cambodia’s Revised PDP (2022-2040), ΝΕΕΡ (2022-2030), and broader socio-economic development agenda. By strengthening power infrastructure for VRE integration while improving energy productivity, the proposed Project will reduce system costs, increase new or improved access to energy, and strengthen industrial competitiveness. Doing both investment components together will position Cambodia for a more resilient, export-ready, and energy- secure economy.
