Cambodia Falls Short of Region’s Energy Goals
…Speaking to an audience of more than 150 private- and public-sector energy officials at the Second East Asia Summit Energy Efficiency Conference, officials agreed that not enough was being done to convince manufacturers and other large consumers of energy to switch to new energy efficient technologies. … Government officials have said that in order for Cambodia to become more energy efficient, factories in the country must conduct energy audits of their operations to find out where they can save on consumption. … According to data released yesterday by the Japan International Cooperation Agency, 61.5 percent of Cambodia’s electricity is imported, while in 2010, residential customers paid higher tariffs than any other country in the region.
