Capacity assessment on local grid integration of Solar or RE based power and development of grid codes for pilot geographic area in Cambodia

Eligibility Criteria

E1

The request has a clear and positive benefit to the requesting country in mitigating, or adapting to the negative effect of, climate change.
Yes
The overall objective of the FTA requested is to assess capacity of integrating Solar power (or renewable energy sourced power) into the local grid and development of grid codes on a pilot geographic area in Cambodia. Government of Cambodia has set a conditional commitment to reduce emissions of 27% in 2030 compared to BAU level. Energy efficiency and renewable energy are priority actions proposed to achieve the commitment. Hence the request has clear and positive benefits towards it.

E2
