Wood Energy Development Programme Thailand (www.rwedp.org)
The Regional Wood Energy Development Programme or RWEDP
has on 31 December 2002 finally closed its office, one
year after the programme ceased to exist. We will do
our utmost best to maintain the website but, as there
is no formal programme stucture anymore, this will be
on a "when time permits" basis. We are working
on an update of the Wood Energy Database (full extended
version) and it is hoped that within the next 2 months
the updated version will become available at the website.
In addition RWEDP has considerable "Grey Literature"
in the form of unpublished reports, studies, etc. and
we have started to add these sources to the website
under the heading "Grey Literature" on the
Publications page. We will try to answer your questions
and/or provide documents, etc. However, due to time
as well as budget constraints we will no longer be able
to provide services at the same level as you have become
accustomed to.

European Commission: http://europa.eu.int/ The origins
of the European Community's energy policy can be traced
back to the Treaties establishing the European Coal
and Steel Community (ECSC) and the European Atomic Energy
Community (EURATOM). This policy has undergone significant
change as a result of the oil crises of 1973 and 1979.
The completion of the internal energy market will mark
a new and important phase in securing energy supply
at lower prices, while respecting the environment.

The Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy (MIME-Cambodia
tunlean@forum.org.kh) is the government agency responsible
for the coordination of electricity sector policy, planning,
and development. Electricity supply consists of 22 small
isolated power systems. These systems are divided into
two parts; (i) Phnom Penh with the 100,000 customers
and six provincial towns served by Electricite du Cambodge
(EDC) and (ii) the remainder is served by MIME or by
private companies under contract with MIME. Energy consumption
per capita was only about 35 kWh per annum, one of the
lowest in Southeast Asia. In rural areas, electricity
is available only to about 5 percent of the rural households.
The Government, thus, targets to achieve a high rural
electrification rate up to 70 percent in 2030. (you

activities. LWF/WS will continue to provide support
to the Battambang Vocational Training Center (VTC) and
implement the community based integrated rural development,
demining and resettlement, and rural water supply projects
at provincial, district and commune level.
