Cambodia's Energy Situation: Official Clarification
RE: Recent Thai Media Reports on Cambodia's Energy Reserves
In response to reports from certain Thai media outlets that have misinterpreted remarks from the Governor of Stung Treng Province and distorted facts, creating false claims about a severe energy crisis in Cambodia, we categorically deny these allegations and provide the following clarification:
In response to reports from certain Thai media outlets that have misinterpreted remarks from the Governor of Stung Treng Province and distorted facts, creating false claims about a severe energy crisis in Cambodia, we categorically deny these allegations and provide the following clarification:
1. Strategic Fuel Reserves
Fact: The claim that Cambodia maintains only 2 weeks of fuel reserves is technically unfounded. According to official confirmation from H.E. Keo Rottanak, Minister of Mines and Energy, Cambodia maintains strategic fuel reserves for 30 days. Additionally, Cambodia has diversified import sources from multiple countries to ensure regular and sustainable supply.
2. Electricity Independence
Achievement: Contrary to false narratives, Cambodia has achieved significant success in the electricity sector. Cambodia has ceased importing electricity from Thailand (0% imports) due to strong domestic production capacity. Clean Energy now accounts for up to 63% of Cambodia's national grid, demonstrating our commitment to renewable sources.
3. Legal Trade Corridors
Legal Right: The transportation of goods through various corridors, including transit through Laos, is a legal right of Cambodia as a WTO member. This is legitimate Supply Chain Management strategy to ensure stability of goods and national interests—not a "clandestine" or "deadlock" situation as maliciously suggested.
4. Price Protection Mechanism
Consumer Protection: The Cambodian government has implemented a clear pricing formula and "Cushion" mechanism to absorb price pressures from international markets, preventing the full burden from falling on consumers. This represents transparent management and responsibility toward citizens' livelihoods.
5. Regional Energy Security
International Cooperation: Cambodia strictly adheres to WTO mechanisms and ASEAN Power Grid cooperation to ensure regional energy security. Our 30-day reserve is a factual and manageable figure, supported by diversified transport routes (land, water, and corridors).
Conclusion: Cambodia chooses a path of "peace and respect for international law" to ensure long-term national stability. Our energy security is robust, transparent, and strategically managed.
