HE promises to slash electricity prices.

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.

I think the writer of the article made a boo boo and put $0.75 instead of 750 riel. BIt of a difference!

Haha don't be silly, everything is closed 10pm latest. And then the farming community are in bed well before that at 6pm.
I admit we are laid back here, but Sleepy Hollow we're not. Anyway I was talking about private homes not pubs.

Kingdom to see 3,000MW supply
Publication date 28 December 2018 | 09:05 ICT
The Kingdom plans to increase electric power supply to 2,870.65MW next year, up from 2,650.26MW this year, according to the Electricity Authority of Cambodia’s (EAC) 2018 annual report that The Post obtained on Thursday.

The report shows that despite the increase in its planned power supply, the Kingdom is set to import the same volume of energy from its neighbouring countries as in this year and last – 442.50MW, of which 277MW will be imported from Vietnam, 135.50MW from Thailand and 30MW from Laos.

With the plan, the government expects increased electric power consumption in the Kingdom next year to 10,807.71GWh from 9,307.44GWh this year.

In the last 15 years up to this year, the Kingdom’s electricity supply increased 12.5-fold from 208MW in 2004 to 2,650MW last year, while consumption increased 11.4-fold from 814GWh to 9,307GWh, said the report.

EAC vice-chairman Ty Thany said electricity consumption spiked, particularly in Preah Sihanouk province, boosted by the arrival of Chinese investors.
“The huge demand for electricity in Sihanoukville requires the authority to further increase supply next year,” Thany said.

The annual report shows that as of the end of this year, the EAC issued licenses to distributors across 363 zones, which span 14,072 villages, or 99.32 per cent of the national total of 14,168 villages.

With plans to expand national electricity network distribution to cover 100 per cent of the Kingdom by 2020, Prime Minister HE announced at the December 17 Hydropower Lower Sesan II power plant inauguration ceremony that electricity prices will fall from next year.

“Only 14 days from today [December 17], new electricity prices will come,” the prime minister said.

The latest electricity price table shows that residents using between 1-10kWh per month will see prices fall from 480 riel this year to 380 riel next year and in 2020.

Those using between 11-50kWh per month will see a drop from 610 riel this year to 480 riel next year and in 2020, while households using between 51-200kWh per month will see the current 770 riel price drop to 610 riel.

As for households using over 200kWh per month, electricity costs will fall from 770 riel this year to 740 riel next year and 730 riel in 2020.
