๐ŸŒ Happy World Environment Day 2026!

As the world faces growing climate challenges, energy efficiency remains one of the most effective and cost-efficient solutions for reducing emissions, strengthening energy security, and accelerating sustainable development.

In Cambodia, energy efficiency is a key pillar of the country's clean energy transition. Through the National Energy Efficiency Policy (NEEP), Cambodia aims to reduce energy consumption by 19% by 2030, supporting national climate commitments, economic resilience, and sustainable growth.

At Geres, we believe that the cleanest energy is the energy we do not waste. From buildings and industries to households and public institutions, improving energy efficiency helps lower costs, reduce environmental impacts, and create lasting benefits for both people and the planet.

This World Environment Day, we celebrate the collective efforts of government institutions, the private sector, development partners, and communities working together to build a greener, more energy-efficient Cambodia.

Every unit of energy saved is a step toward a cleaner environment, a stronger economy, and a more sustainable future. ๐ŸŒฟ

๐ŸŒŸ Strengthening Cambodiaโ€™s Future in Energy Efficiency!

On 30th April 2026, the Workshop on the "Review and Finalization of CEMAT Training Materials" was successfully conducted in Kampot Province under the Capacity for Cambodia Energy Efficiency (CapCEE) Project, funded by Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) and implemented by Geres and the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) in collaboration with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and technical review by Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM).

The workshop brought together representatives from government institutions, development partners, academia, and technical experts to review and strengthen the Cambodian Energy Manager and Auditor Training Program (CEMAT) for 2026โ€“2030.

Throughout the day, participants engaged in technical presentations, collaborative discussions, and interactive group sessions focused on improving the Certified Energy Manager (CEM) and Certified Energy Auditor (CEA) training materials. The workshop also provided a valuable platform to exchange lessons learned, integrate international best practices, and align the program with ISO 50001 energy management and auditing approaches.

Breakout group discussions encouraged participants to identify gaps, propose improvements, and develop practical recommendations to strengthen the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of future CEMAT training delivery in Cambodia.

The outcomes of this workshop will contribute to building stronger national capacity in energy management and auditing while supporting Cambodiaโ€™s transition toward a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. โšก

๐ŸŒฑ Continuing to Strengthen Local Capacity for Energy Efficiency!

Weโ€™re glad to share the completion of the fourth and final provincial training under the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME). This session brought together provincial authorities from Stung Treng and Kratie provinces to continue building momentum for energy efficiency at the local level.

Organized through the CapCEE project, the training supports teams responsible for implementing the National Energy Efficiency Policy (NEEP 2022โ€“2030). The focus remains on practical skills and knowledge to help translate national policy into effective provincial action.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ A total of 26 participants joined the training, including 4 women, representing key provincial departments. Through interactive discussions and shared learning, participants strengthened coordination and enhanced their understanding of energy efficiency practices.

This initiative, funded by Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) and implemented by GERES and ITC in collaboration with MME, continues to play an important role in building local capacity for sustainable development.

Together, we are advancing toward a more energy-efficient and sustainable future for Cambodia. โšก
