Price plea as generator costs soar

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Price plea as generator costs soar

The government has urged vendors of electricity generators to ensure reasonable prices after public complaints flooded social media over soaring costs amidst a shortage of power in the Kingdom.

Government spokesman Phay Siphan said Cambodian people should help each other during a crisis.

Help each other?
:clap:

Asians in general are never shy at making money out of any situation.
Indians, Pakistanis, SE Asians and especially Chinese. Always want a bargain but when selling want top dollar.

A few years ago, there was a one-week power outage in Temple Town. Not only did generator prices go through the roof, the police set up a check-point on NR 6 stopping trucks coming from PP with generaotrs and shaking them down, knowing damn well they had all the hotel and guest house pwners by the short and curlies.

In summer school holidays flight prices jump by 20 to 50%. It’s just a supply and demand thing.

Same as Durian prices and anything else.

Shame these same people couldn't keep their sticky fingers fro the Hydro pie and ensure that it would provide needed supply..

A bit late to do the holier than thou speech.
