Through Cambodia Australia Partnership for Resilient Economic Development – CAPRED, Australia supports Cambodia’s plan to increase the uptake of variable renewable energy, support professional development of energy officials, connect remote Cambodians to off-grid solar, and support energy efficiency. 

This week, Ambassador Whyatt joined Cambodia’s Mines and Energy Minister Keo Rottanak, senior officials, development partners and key stakeholders at the policy dialogue to outline the Ministry's policies and strategies in the Energy, Mines, and Petroleum sectors.

Cambodia has set a target for renewable energy to be at least 70% of power mix by 2030.
