III. Plan of Royal Government
 RoyalGovernment of Cambodia Electrification Targets. Rural
electrification offers major social and economic benefits. These arerecognized in the establishment by the Royal Government of Cambodia(RGC) of targets for expanding electrification to 100% of villages by 2020
and 70% of rural households by 2030.
 Current electrification rates in Cambodia are very low. According to the2008 Census, only around 26% of households have access to grid electricity
supplies. Most of these households are in urban areas and the rural gridelectrification rate is only about 12% of rural households.
 By 2030, IED estimated is less at just over 1 million. It is proposed that thefunding targets be that estimated by IED as EDC has already secured
funding from the World Bank, ADB and China EXIM Bank of 130 million
for rural grid extension from its high voltage network. The IED Sustainable
Rural Electrification Plans (SREP) for Cambodia is also much more detailed
in terms of specifying on grid and off grid technologies than the AECOM
report and therefore its estimated cost is used as the guide on funding
required to 2030
