CAMBODIA’S RENEWABLE PUSH: Electricity prices held at pre-Hormuz crisis level to shield households
Cambodia says it has insulated its electricity sector from the Strait of Hormuz shock, thanks to renewable energy that covers nearly two-thirds of its power generation. But the country's energy minister tells CNA that oil and gas prices remain a pain point and that a connected ASEAN power grid is the long-term fix. Roland Lim spoke with Keo Rottanak, Cambodian Minister for Mines & Energy. He started out by asking, what if oil and gas prices stay elevated. Editor's note: At 2:26, the pie chart showing Cambodia's power capacity in 2026 incorrectly labels fuel oil as 22.2%. The figure should be 9%.
