Cambodia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy has approved a 30 MW quota for new rooftop solar installations this year, a measure primarily targeting commercial and industrial consumers to manage grid integration. While residential systems under 10 kW remain exempt from prior approval (requiring only notification to local providers), larger projects must now secure explicit authorization from the Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC). Currently, solar energy accounts for 18.91% of the nation's power mix, contributing to a total renewable share of 61.11%, which remains dominated by hydropower.
