| Description : |
This project provides technical assistance to support the preparation of power development plan up to 2040 and related project pipeline for the development of Cambodia’s energy sector through capacity building and policy advice to be provided to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and Electricité du Cambodge (EDC). This project has three mains goals: (i) prepare power development plan up to 2040 (that includes demand forecasting, energy efficiency analysis, generation, transmission, and distribution planning), (ii) develop a pipeline of priority projects; and (iii) prepare a medium-term capacity development plan for MME and EDC staff. |
