Credit where it is due

For the first time in over 10 years, this summer passed (almost) with not a single long power outage in my area.

In the whole month of April, we had one 1-hour outage, and two 15-minute outages.

Thank you, HE!

Wish I could say the same. Here in my sleepy Sihanoukville neighborhood, we've had numerous outages, some lasting for nearly a full 24 hour period. But maybe I shouldn't complain - at least I don't live in Siem Reap! I heard their previous outage lasted for something like four days.

Same in my part of town. I wonder where it is coming from. Vietnam?

I noticed there has been very few this year as well.

Both at home and work which is opposite sides of Phnom Penh.

AKAY? WHAT? This has been far and away the best year EVER in Sihanoukville. The odd 10 minute outage now and then. OK, If you live near Blind Begger, we had the 1 outage that lasted 36 hrs, but that was our 1 block only and was caused by a transformer blowing up.Shit happens. No offence mate, but you obviously have NO idea what it has been like in the past.

C'mon LTO, you know better. I'll take a stab in the dark and suggest its the new power station that opened about 10 months ago in Prey Sihanouk province. Whatdyareckonmate?

Is the Stung Hau plant in full operation and distributing to Phnom Penh? Last year the government was blaming PP power shortages on Vietnam only sending 170MW of the promised 200MW that they agreed to sell Cambodia. And I believe that last week's blackout in Siem Reap was due to the the high tension lines from Thailand being damaged. It would be good to hear that Cambodia doesn't need to buy power from its neighbors and was producing enough on it own.

I hope that someone has finally understood that energy is critical to development.

Perhaps one day they will understand about education, health care and infrastructure, but don't hold your breath.

Boeng TomPun was great. Just talking about the lack of power cuts.

I live in Siem Reap. Had about 2 minutes of power cuts this year... maybe that's because the building I live in has a generator? It's amazing how little power cuts bother you when you take precautions to get rid of them. Now, if they could just deal with the endless insane surges (low/high) that are turning my electricity bills into record breakers... I'd be happy.
