View DetailsCambodia requires a more cohesive energy sector strategy linking policies and physical infrastructure plans (including generation, transmission and distribution) to support further economic growth and competitiveness.
The Cambodian government has stated in its PDP that it will need $9 billion of investment to develop new power plants and expand the national grid, of which $2.5 billion has been approved between 2022 and 2025.
There is tremendous demand in Cambodia for diesel generators as backup power, on-site power plants, and power generation in rural areas not served by public utilities.
Other sources include solar, fuel oil, and biomass. In addition to local power generation, Cambodia also buys electricity from neighboring countries, especially during the dry season. In 2024, Cambodia's total installed capacity amounted to 5,044 megawatts (MW), while 672 MW of power was imported from Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos.
