Promoting Clean Energy in Cambodia

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

Why now is an exciting time for Cambodia’s clean energy market
By: Thomas Brent - Posted on: September 26, 2018 | Business
EnergyLab Asia is an organisation that aims to facilitate the growth of the clean energy market in Cambodia, with a particular focus on startups and innovation. Southeast Asia Globe sits down with director of emerging markets Bridget McIntosh to discuss new technologies in renewable energy and the future of the sector in Cambodia
The huge Aeon Mall, situated in central Phnom Penh, is covered in solar panels

Tell me a little bit about what EnergyLab Asia does
We play a role in supporting the whole [clean energy] ecosystem here in Cambodia and act as a landing pad for international companies, to help facilitate their entry here. We have a coworking space so that entrepreneurs, startups, freelancers and [international businesses] can come and work with us, but also then we can introduce them to all the different companies that are already here, as well as [familiarising] them with government policy, institutions or development agencies in order to optimise the time that they are going to spend looking at Cambodia’s market.

We also do things like holding events to raise awareness of clean energy and to raise awareness of all the different technologies and opportunities that are happening worldwide. EnergyLab also works to stimulate startups and entrepreneurs to participate in the clean energy market in Cambodia. For example, we are holding a smart energy hackathon at the end of October. There is a two-fold intention behind that: one is to bring in people with ITC skills and expose them to what is happening in clean energy. Most ICT people think renewable energy is not interesting for them, but actually there is a lot that they can do that is related. The other objective is to see if we can support people who are interested in starting a new idea and then possibly help them connect with another person who is interested in exploring [a similar idea].
