1. Background

 

1.1 About CAPRED

 

The CAPRED Facility is Australia's flagship bilateral economic development program in Cambodia, focusing on economic recovery and resilience over the next five years, with a possible three-year extension. The Facility supports Cambodia in implementing a range of necessary economic interventions and reforms to maintain the country's economic transition. These interventions and reforms aim to encourage more productive and inclusive public and private investment, promoting a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy (RISE).

 

CAPRED interventions fall under three technical components including: Agriculture and Agro-processing; Trade, Investment and Enterprise Development and Infrastructure Development; and one Cross-Cutting component comprising: Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI); Climate Resilient initiatives, and policy support.

 

1.2 About the ESCO Pilot Demonstration

 

The Cambodian government released the National Energy Efficiency Policy (NEEP) in 2023. One key strategy within NEEP is fostering the development of the Energy Service Company (ESCO) market in Cambodia.

 

ESCOS offer a proven business model, guaranteeing energy savings over a contracted period. While globally recognized, Cambodia's ESCO market is still nascent. To leverage ESCOs' potential to drive energy efficiency, CAPRED aims to pilot investment models between ESCOs and businesses within the agro-processing sector: rice milling, food processing, and animal farming.

 

The objectives of this program are as follows:
