Solar Viability for Large Energy Users
Comin Khmere
Installing solar for large energy users is now legal and can be a positive viable investment. However viability depends on some site specific factors. It is costly to visit all factories across Cambodia, especially if many turn out to be not viable.
Can your team determine a way to engage with the 100s of factories across Cambodia to understand easily if solar is a viable option for electricity supply for them? If it is viable, how could you convey the opportunities and who they should turn to for installation and/or investment?

Support farmers monitor their savings
SGFE
For smallholder chicken farmers, 1/3rd of chicks don't survive the first 3 weeks of life – even in Cambodia chicks need heating. SGFE are working with farmers to show them how using eco-char briquettes is better business and cheaper than using lightbulbs for heating.
SGFE are trialing this with many farmers far from Phnom Penh - Can your team find a way to collect data to help communicate savings and keep farmers motivated to continue this eco-friendly process. Are you enough into chicks for this?

Efficient Incubator for Solar Smartgrid
Okra Solar
In Cambodia, crickets are a lucrative farming activity (crickets sell for $4/kg). They are usually caught via a fluro lightbulb, usually run on expensive diesel generators in offgrid areas.
Can you establish a viable business opportunity through an 'intelligent, energy efficient cricket incubator' that can be energised with the smart controls available to Okra smart grids. Your goal is to optimise yields while minimising the energy consumed, enabling Cambodian off-grid villages to compete with commercial cricket incubating across the border in Thailand.

Engaging Consumers in Energy Efficiency
ATS
"We were exploring with with sensors and data at our data centre - we changed the setting on air con units from 16 to 23'C By monitoring the data, we discovered we halved energy consumption, because the units were operating more efficiently".
There are countless opportunities in Cambodia to save energy, and not all of them are technical solutions - customers need to participate.
Come up with solution that uses sensors, controls and puts the consumer at the centre of opportunities to save energy. Could gamification help?
