One of the promising traits of solar energy in Cambodia is its cost. The average electricity price for solar power is around USD 0.03 per kW, significantly lower than that of coal, which is USD 7.7 per kW.
It is regarded as a convincing example demonstrating the potential to develop cost-effective large-scale solar PV in Cambodia by uniting the public and private sectors. Phase II of the solar park, which totals 40 MW, was tendered in 2020 and awarded to Trina Solar with another record-low price of $0.026 per kWh.
Phase I of the National Solar Park in Cambodia, with a capacity of 60 MW, recently completed construction and connected to the national grid, reaching a record-low price for utility-scale, grid-connected solar PV in Southeast Asia at $0.039 per kWh.
The cost of a floating solar project in Cambodia is estimated to be approximately $0.045 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). This is significantly cheaper than the cost per kWh for electricity from a new dam or coal plant.
Storage is expected to improve grid stability as the share of solar in Cambodia increases. “Of upmost importance for EDC is the stability of the grid, I presume they will use the BESS mostly for this purpose,” Massimiliano Tropeano, sustainability and garment expert at EuroChamb Cambodia told pv magazine.
Cambodia has one of the highest solar energy potentials in the region. The country plans to significantly scale up capacity in the coming decades to strengthen the energy grid and reach its net-zero emissions goals.
