Cambodia is endowed with an abundance of renewable resources (e.g. hydro, wind, solar, and agricultural residues), which have great potential for power production. The development of renewable energy (RE) is a significant solution to accelerate power sector development and reduce dependence on energy imports. If large-scale hydropower (larger than 10 MW) is excluded, the RE share in Cambodia's total primary energy supply falls to around 1%. Under the Energy Efficiency and Conservation (EE&C) goals submitted to the Fifth East Asia Summit Energy Ministers Meeting, held on 20 September 2011, Cambodia aimed to adopt Final Energy Demand as its Energy Efficiency (EE) Indicator and achieve a 10% reduction from the "business-as-usual" scenario by 2030. The action plan to achieve the EE&C goals covers the usage of energy by industry, transportation, and commercial and residential users, such as the introduction of EE equipment and labelling, as well as the promotion of EE public awareness.

In May 2017, a Regulatory Authority for the Energy Sector (ARSE), introduced in 2015, was in the process of being installed. There is no website that provides information about these developments or about the projects for developing energy, for example, renewables. However, according to some observers, the ARSE's independence and autonomy need strengthening. (...)

The Ministry of Energy is responsible for oversight of the sector. However, other ministries retain responsibility over some specific issues. For instance, the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Food Security is in charge of issues related to bioenergy and crop-related energy, and the Ministry of Trade and Industry, through its Petroleum Regulatory Agency, deals with the marketing and sales of petroleum products.

Policy considerations for bioenergy in Norway are a joint effort of the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, and the Ministry of Climate and the Environment. In 2003, Norway created a Bioenergy Programme under Innovation Norway to support the development of small-scale bioenergy supply. The Programme has so far supported the establishment of nearly 2,000 bioenergy heating facilities capable of producing 384 GWh. In 2017, the Programme's budget amounted to NKr 67 million. At the same time, the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy's Enova finances larger scale projects, such as district heating.
