| Summary: | The Electricity Authority of Cambodia
(EAC) is in its nascent stage of development. However, it
has undertaken initial steps toward increasing public
awareness of electricity regulation and issuing licenses to
larger scale generators and distributors in urban areas.
EAC's next important task is to formalize the
operations of small-scale private operators in the rural
areas. The regulatory framework for rural electricity
operations in the country has yet to be fully developed.
Guidelines and procedures are currently being drafted by
EAC, but they still have to be tested thus, gradual
revisions can be anticipated and precedents must be
established. In addition, the scope of EAC's operations
must be expanded to include, among other things, definitions
of technical standards and procedures for determining tariff
levels. In view of EAC's extensive work plan, the
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) has
provided a grant toward the financing for a technical
advisor to support EAC in these activities. |
