Biofuel for Rural Electrification in Cambodia |
With financial support from the ESMAP program of the World Bank through the Global Village Energy Partnership (GVEP) Action Program Fund - GAPFund, IIEC is working with local partners in Cambodia to assess the feasibility of a new sustainable business model of biofuel-based off-grid rural electrification. IIEC also will assess the use of biofuels as substitute fuels for diesel in conventional generation. In Cambodia, about 85% of 15 million people (in 2.7 million households) still live in rural areas, and less than 10% of which have access to quality electricity supply. Most rural people rely on electricity services from small stand-alone grids operated by Rural Electricity Enterprises (REEs) and rechargeable car-batteries. It is estimated that there are more than 600 REEs and 1,500 commercial battery-charging stations throughout Cambodia. These businesses are operated by local entrepreneurs using diesel generator sets and the grids are constructed from materials locally available. Considerable system losses due to poor design and construction in combination with rising diesel oil price make poor rural communities in Cambodia face some of the highest electricity costs in the world at an average of more than US$0.50 per kWh.

Participants agreed that the potential in energy saving and peak demand reduction in the evening hours are attractive and should be further emphasized to the high level decision makers. Although, currently there is no direct support for solar thermal from the Thai government, large solar thermal systems are eligible for the available Government’s Revolving Loan Fund.
