Center for Sustainable Energy
How can we provide the energy needed to support a growing population and greater economic prosperity, without damaging our environment beyond repair? Identifying and making the right decisions is not easy, given the large number of stakeholders, system inter-dependencies and high levels of uncertainty involved.
CSE is first ever research center in Cambodia dedicated specifically to deal with the issues of sustainable energy. CSE will thrive to be an independent, nonprofit center promoting strong policy and action to address ways to provide Cambodia with sustainable energy while protecting the global climate.

FOCUS AREAS
Energy for Productive UseExperience has shown that it is not enough to simply extend the electricity grid and hope for local economic activity to pick up just by itself. Enrich Institute conducts research, design and implement practical, and effective programs aimed at promoting productive use of energy to enhance economic and social development. |
Renewable EnergyConduct market analysis, pre-feasibility study to provide scientific evidence-based, policy recommendations and capacity building program on regulatory framework, fiscal incentive, technology to promote the uptake of renewable energy. |
Energy EfficiencyEnergy efficiency is called “the first fuel” as it is the best way of getting more out of existing resources, supporting economic growth, and reducing energy costs. Enrich Institute promotes energy efficiency investment by addressing regulatory barriers, market failures, financial and informational barriers. |
