NEW ENERGY VEHICLE INDUSTRY

Phnom Penh Electrochemical Energy Storage Industry

In Phnom Penh, Cambodia is advancing its energy storage capabilities through several initiatives:A utility-scale battery energy storage system is being piloted, funded by a $6.7 million grant, which is part of a broader effort to enhance the power grid1.The Cambodian government has approved 23 energy development projects, including two energy storage facilities, aimed at expanding clean energy and reducing electricity costs3.The Asian Development Bank is supporting the development of solar power and battery storage programs, contributing to Cambodia's goal of carbon neutrality by 20504.These projects reflect Cambodia's commitment to improving its energy infrastructure and integrating renewable energy sources.

New energy storage is listed as the main body of the field

Pumped storage is still the main body of energy storage, but the proportion of about 90% from 2020 to 59.4% by the end of 2023; the cumulative installed capacity of new type of energy storage, which refers to other types of energy storage in addition to pumped storage, is 34.5 GW/74.5 GWh (lithium‐ion batteries accounted for more than 94%), and the new incremental growth in 2023 is 260% year‐on‐year; the price of lithium‐ion batteries has dropped significantly.10–12 However, according to the data from China Electricity Council (CEC),the average annual utilisation hours of new energy storage in 2023 is 615 h, and the utilisation level is generally not high.10 Therefore, it is necessary to sort out the demands and challenges of energy storage technology to provide reference for the development of the energy storage industry.
