Abstract
Decentralized energy services remain at
the forefront in the fight against poverty. Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME) are driving this effort to provide an
alternative to state-owned utilities and other large energy
providers in poor and developing countries. SMEs allow
entrepreneurs to provide alternative energy supply in remote
and rural areas while also providing jobs, lowering energy
costs, and reducing carbon and other greenhouse gas
emissions. The document provided a forum to discuss the
specific role of SMEs in the energy sectors of Cambodia and
Lao people's democratic Republic and establish a
blueprint for SME involvement in alternative energy products
and services in other countries.
