Households using public electricity; national trend, 2004–2023, with 2023 residence rates; selected checkpoints shown.
Public-electricity access among Cambodian households is tracked nationally from 2004 to 2023. The official series rises from 14% in 2004 to 93% in 2023 across six survey observations. The 79-percentage-point increase means the 2023 rate was 6.64 times the 2004 rate. In 2023 access reached 99.5% in Phnom Penh, 97.9% in other urban areas and 89.7% in rural areas.

Evidence: Supports the published values, periods and definitions used for households using public electricity in Cambodia.
The trend uses national household shares for each survey period. Phnom Penh, other urban and rural values are 2023 support comparisons rather than additional national time points.
The six national observations are plotted in chronological order. The change in percentage points and the 2004-to-2023 multiple are computed from the first and last values.
All observations use the Cambodia Socio-Economic Survey series and the same household-access concept.
