Cambodia is currently among the fastest electrifying countries in the world, with coverage reaching 89.1 per cent as of the end of 2017, a newly published World Bank report says.
The Kingdom has made significant progress in providing access to electricity, becoming one of four countries to have electrified at a rate of around eight per cent each year since 2010, said the World Bank’s Energy Progress Report 2019.
Cambodia electrified at a rate of 8.3 per cent annually between 2010-17, the report says.
“In Cambodia, off-grid solutions constitute the fastest means for expanding electricity access in rural areas,” he said.
Sixty-seven per cent of electricity access in Cambodia’s rural areas comes from the national grid, while 31 per cent is from off-grid solutions.
