Kilometers
• 84% of population in rural areas lacking of
electricity and 16.41% of total households have
access to electricity
• National strategy by 2020, all villages will be
able to access electricity
• Potential of hydropower is high, more than
10,000MW
(Source: EAC 2008)
Generation of Electricity
• More than 95% of electric power generation is
from diesel power plant.
• 13 fuel power plants generate electricity to
provinces (Sihanouk, Siem Reap, Takeo,
Kampot, BMC, PreyVeng, Stung Treng, Pursat,
Kg. Cham, R.Kiri, Kg. Chhnang)
• Electric power import from Thailand to BMC,
