Victor Jona, director-general of Energy at the Ministry of Mines and Energy, said Cambodia is less reliant on foreign electricity sources, resulting in a reduction of the country’s electricity imports due to the constant development of the local electricity sector.
Mr Jona said the development of the energy sector in Cambodia has increased significantly thanks to foreign investment and development partners, setting the pace for Cambodia’s independence in its future energy needs.
“Compared to 2009 and 2010, we imported about 60 percent of our energy needs, but because of an increase in locally generated electricity supply, our imports from Thailand, Vietnam, and Laos now represents only 15 to 16 percent of our total consumption.
