As a result, Electricité du Cambodge - the arm of the Cambodian Government responsible for providing energy services - has begun evaluating alternative solutions that will enable the provision of equitable and commercially sustainable energy access for the remaining unelectrified areas of Cambodia. Renewable SolutionĮlectrifying the remaining off-grid villages in Cambodia is characterised by two key challenges: households are located sparsely in areas with harsh and variable environments, and the remoteness of these villages makes it costly to conduct O&M and revenue collection on an ongoing basis. Other conventional last-mile electrification methods - such as diesel and solar-diesel hybrid mini-grids - have struggled to demonstrate commercial viability, so a new approach was needed. Whilst the government has reduced the number of off-grid villages from over 14,000 to less than 500 by extending the national grid, using this approach to connect extremely remote villages with low-density populations is not practical, nor viable. It was the goal of the Cambodian government to achieve 100% countrywide electrification by the end of 2020.
