The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), with support from the Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), recently energized the remote villages of Steung Chrov, Ta Daok and Prek Spean using Okra Solar''s mesh grid hardware (Pod) and software (Harvest).
"Leave no one behind". A power-capabilities-energy justice
Expanding the scope of local actors to manage, operationalise and oversee off-grid solar energy systems in remote rural communities can help to reduce the burden of energy access for the
A young man and his piano: solar mini-grids bring new
UNDP energy team in Cambodia witnessed first-hand how access to electricity brings wide-reaching opportunities to communities. Mini-grids are powering streetlights at night, improving safe mobility for women and girls, along with better access to
A Guide to Solar Energy in Cambodia for 2022
Solar power is transforming remote communities in Cambodia with affordable, renewable energy and the chance to live more productive lives. Still, hundreds of other villages remain off the grid, and energy experts say Cambodia should be doing more to harness the country''s immense amount of untapped sunlight.

Partnership Ready Cambodia: Solar PV potential in the
The Solar Regulation allows electricity generation for self-con-sumption for solar PV off-grid systems and for grid-connected systems if they meet certain criteria. Off-grid systems – those not connected and synchronised with the national grid – are allowed to use solar or other generation for self-consumption, regardless of required capacity.
"Leave no one behind". A power-capabilities-energy justice
Expanding the scope of local actors to manage, operationalise and oversee off-grid solar energy systems in remote rural communities can help to reduce the burden of energy access for the most vulnerable households by investing in a more equitable local energy distribution, for example by establishing an affordable electricity price for those

6 FAQs about [Cambodia solar off grid]
Is solar power transforming remote communities in Cambodia?
Solar power is transforming remote communities in Cambodia with affordable, renewable energy and the chance to live more productive lives\. However, hundreds of other villages remain off the grid, and energy experts say Cambodia should be doing more to harness the country’s immense amount of untapped sunlight.
Are Cambodians off-grid?
Approximately 1 out of 5 households in Cambodia are off-grid, meaning they don’t have access to power provided by utilities, and are unable to access reliable and affordable electricity, according to the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey.
How many solar PV projects are there in Cambodia?
Scores of seven solar photovoltaic (PV) projects are in the pipeline for construction and planned for operation by 2023. The Cambodian government aims to generate 20 percent of energy from renewable energy. This is our guide to Solar Energy in Cambodia.
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 energy a good source of energy in Cambodia?
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.
What are Cambodia's goals for solar energy?
With these opportunities in mind, the government has set ambitious targets for expanding solar energy in Cambodia, aiming to inject 2 GW of solar energy into the grid by 2030.
