Renewable in % Electricity Production
The last Power Development Plan (PDP 2022-2040) forecasts that the share of renewables in the power capacity mix will be raised to 63% by 2040, including a share of 32% for solar PV (3.2 GW) and 30% for hydro (about 3 GW).
The objectives of the previous PDP 2008-2021 to reach a capacity of 2.77 GW of renewables in 2020, including 2.24 GW of hydropower, was not reached (only 1.33 GW of hydro installed).

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2020), Cambodia aims to reduce its GHG emissions by 42% in 2030 compared to a BaU projection (i.e. -64.5 MtCO2e) with international support, representing a 50% reduction for the AFOLU sector (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) (-38 MtCO2e) and 40% for the energy sector (-13.7 MtCO2e). It strengthened the previous NDC by including the AFOLU sector and levelling up the ambition of climate mitigation targets.
