Wow, it's really looking like that now.

What could have caused a nationwide blackout like this?

ឥឡូវនេះទូទាំងរាជធានីភ្នំពេញ និងបណ្ដាខេត្តមួយចំនួនបានផ្ដាច់ចរន្ដអគ្គិសនី ។
ដោយសារប្រភពអគ្គិសនីរបស់យើងមាន៣ប្រភេទ ១.ធ្យូងថ្មរ ២.ក្រៅប្រទេស ៣.វ៉ារីអគ្គិសនី ។
ក្រុមការងាររបស់អគ្គិសនីកម្ពុជាបាននឹងកំពុងរៀបចំ នឹងជិតមានចរន្ដអគ្គិសនីវិញហើយ

សូមជួយផ្សព្វផ្សាយបន្ដ! និងសូមមានការប្រុងប្រយ័តកុំមានការជ្រួកច្របល់

The power was cut in citywide and some provinces. We have 3 different power resources
1. Coal
2. Foreign countries
3. Dams
The crew of EDC is trying to fix it and it will be back on shortly.
Please help share, be careful and don't be panic.

This seems to suggest it's the power supply from Vietnam:

Electric high-voltage isolated from Vietnam that cuts across the country throughout the country. Now electrical engineers are trying to restore the system. Experts said that needs a little time to calm.

ok the main part of this lengthy live video, he said, this blackout is not a sign of terrorism or any other incidents beside blackout. According to the information from EDC. The blackout in the citywide and some other provinces due to the blackout in Vietnam. In contract we buy 200 megawatt of electricity from Vietnam to supply in Phnom Penh and other provinces. I would like to take this time to apologize to the nation for this incident. It was an unexpected incident. I just want to confirm that this has nothing to do with political from any parties or the sign of happening of terrorism. I seek the nation understanding and forgiveness for what had happened while people was enjoying the good time of water festival. Thanks.
