  • 3. the Power Sector 3.1 Laws and Regulations
    Final Report Chapter 3 The Power Sector 3. THE POWER SECTOR 3.1 LAWS AND REGULATIONS The legal and regulatory framework of the power sector of Cambodia is governed by the following laws: Electricity Law Other applicable laws, polices and regulations 3.1.1 Electricity Law The power sector of Cambodia is administered and managed under the Electricity Law which was enacted in February 2001. The Law provides a policy framework for the development of a largely unbundled sector, with substantial private sector participation in generation and distribution on a competitive basis. The Law aims at establishing: 1) the principles for operations in the electric power industry; 2) favourable conditions for investment and commercial operation; 3) the basis for the regulation of service provision; 4) the principles for protection of consumers interests to receive reliable services at reasonable cost; promotion of private ownership of the facilities; and establishment of competition. 5) the principles for granting rights and enforcing obligations; and 6) the Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) for regulating the electricity services. The Law has two key objectives: 1) establishing an independent regulatory body, EAC; and 2) liberalizing generation and distribution functions to private sectors. Two functions of policy making and regulation are clearly separated as shown in Figure 3.1.1. The Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy (MIME) is responsible for policy making, including drafting laws, declaring policies, formulating plans, deciding on investments, etc. EAC is responsible for regulatory functions, including licensing service providers, approving tariffs, setting and enforcing performance standards, settling disputes, etc. The liberalization and deregulation of the sector has stimulated the private sector with resulting proliferation of independent power producers (IPP) and rural electricity enterprises (REE) in addition to the traditional public utility, the Electricite du Cambodge (EDC).

  • Unofficial Translation Joint Statement Youths, Civil Society Groups and Grassroots Communities Call for Removal of Development License from Koh Kong S.E.Z Co
    Unofficial translation Joint Statement Youths, Civil Society groups and Grassroots communities call for removal of development license from Koh Kong S.E.Z Co. Ltd and regulate Koh Kong Krao island as a national protected area. 31 July 2020 – We, the undersigned youths, civil society groups and grassroots communities, are very concerned by the Royal Government of Cambodia granting Koh Kong S.E.Z Col, Ltd, a company publicly known as being owned by Ly Yong Phat – a powerful tycoon widely known for his involvement in human rights abuses, land rights violations and the destruction of natural resources – the license to develop Koh Kong Krao island in Koh Kong province. The authorization given to this company will potentially be a serious threat to natural resources on the island and biodiversity in the sea, including deforestation, wildlife extinction, illegal buildings constructed on the beach, water pollution in the sea, loss natural beauty of the island and loss the benefit for Cambodian people, etc. For example, in the case on Koh Rong Samloem island, there is illegal construction on the beach land and polluted water draining into the sea. Another case is Songsaa island; after the development, most Cambodian people cannot afford to stay on the island, because the price of accommodation is too expensive. Therefore, we are very concerned about the planned development of the island by the company, and call for the government to remove the development license for Koh Kong Krao island from the company and to take all effective measures to preserve the national resources and biodiversity in the sea surrounding the island.

  • Expedition to the South
    Expedition to the South Day 1: Arrival in Phnom Penh Commence your tour this morning with a journey south of Phnom Penh to Tonle Bati, a small lake with a beach and two impressive Angkorian laterite temples from the late 12th century, Ta Prohm and Yeay Peau. Explore the jungle-clad and atmospheric Ta Prohm, a temple built by King Jayavarman VII (who ruled from 1181 to 1201). Visit Phnom Chisor, a temple perched atop a hill and constructed of laterite and brick with carved lintels of sandstone. The inscriptions found here date back to the 11th century and the wooden doors to the sanctuary are decorated with intricate carvings. Continue to Angkor Borei, a 6th century monument built in laterite by King Rudravarman of Funan. His patron deity was Vishnu and many Hindu statues survive from this site. It is one of the few remaining sites with traces of the Kingdom of Funan (a kingdom influenced by India and thought to have spread as far as southern Burma and Indonesia). Next, head to a hill south of Angkor Borei, Phnom Da, which houses four artificial caves, built as shrines. At the completion of this visit you will be returned to your hotel for the evening at leisure. Day 2: Kep / Includes Breakfast Enjoy an early breakfast at your hotel this morning and depart for Kampot province. There are varieties of caves around Kampot, which is worth exploring and limestone mountains (phnom) dot the landscape between Kampot and Kep. Many contain limestone caves, some adorned with exotic rock formations, and almost all containing Buddhist shines.

Signed by the final Examining Committee: Chair Professor Barbara Lorenzkowski Examiner Professor. Theresa Ventura Examiner Professor Alison Rowley Supervisor Professor Matthew Penney Approved by Chair of Department or Graduate Program Director 2018 Dean of Faculty ABSTRACT Re-imagining Khmer Identity: Angkor Wat during the People’s Republic of Kampuchea (1979-1989) Simon Bailey The People’s Republic of Kampuchea period between 1979 and 1989 is often overlooked when scholars work on the history of modern Cambodia. This decade is an academic blind spot sandwiched between the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime and the onset of the United Nations peace process. Utilizing mediums such as popular culture, postage stamps and performance art, this thesis will show how the single most identifiable image of Cambodian culture, Angkor Wat became a cultural binding agent for the government during the 1980s. To prove the centrality of Angkor in the myth-making and nation building mechanisms of the People’s Republic of Kampuchea, primary source material from Cambodia’s archives, along with interviews will form the foundation of this investigation.

  • Biographical Sketch Cullen Sayegh Is a Fifth-Year Architecture Student At
    Biographical Sketch Cullen Sayegh is a fifth-year architecture student at the University of Tennessee. Growing up in East Tennessee, Cullen’s first glimpse into architecture consisted of the Tennessee Valley Authority’s dams, whose cultural and environmental impact is readily apparent across the region. Just as the memories of the TVA were inextricable to his childhood, Cullen was soon fascinated by the built environment’s power to communicate the history and meaning of a place. Following his freshman year at UT as a history and economics major, he switched into architecture. Since then he has excitedly engaged in research, first through a faculty-led project studying urban wind ventilation in China, and later developing an index of experiential strategies for connecting architecture with nature via environmental stimuli. He has also served as a TA for the School of Architecture’s architectural history and theory courses. Through these opportunities Cullen learned to value research and analysis as a generative process. These experiences all proved formative in developing Cullen’s proposal for the Aydelott Award. From initially brainstorming sites, to the grant-writing process, to finally beginning the trip and visiting each site, the Aydelott Travel Award has proven to be a career-altering experience. This opportunity has provided him with the confidence and enthusiasm to apply for a 2019 Fulbright Grant, pending at the time of this report. Cullen hopes to eventually take the knowledge he developed over the course of his Aydelott experience and leverage it in the future as he pursues a graduate degree in architectural history. Student: Cullen Sayegh Faculty Mentor: Dr.
