This document outlines the Royal Government of Cambodia’s dedication in establishing Energy Efficiency as a major principle of the National Energy Policy in Cambodia. The rationale behind this decision is to provide more reliable and affordable energy services to all energy users in order to support the economic and social development of the country and to protect its natural resources. The electricity tariffs in Cambodia are among the highest in the region, and the rural electricity supply does not meet the needs of the rural population. The rural population is still heavily depending on biomass for cooking purposes, which is being used or produced (charcoal) in very inefficient ways.
