1. Status of EE in Cambodia
As formulated in October 1994, the RGC is aiming at providing reliable,

Decrease the dependency on imported fuels andProtect the natural environment of the country.
On 24 May 2013 the Draft of EE Policies and action Plan was completed by
support from EU PDF
Three priority areas have been selected for the implementation of thenational energy efficiency policy, strategy and action plan:
Energy efficiency in industry
Energy efficiency of Transportation
2Energy efficiency in buildings2. Objective
The National Energy Efficiency Policy was drafted by
MME to implement the following issues:
1. Reduce the future National energy demand by 20%
until 2035, compared to business as usualprojections
2. Reduce National CO2 emissions in 2035 by 3 million
tons of CO2.
