Snookyville Power
Snookyville Power
So what's with the daily power outages in Sihanoukville? I thought the Chinese built a 500 Mega-Watt power plant here to stop the countries dependence on power from Vietnam? Looks to me like the Bozo'z at Snookyville power can't keep their act together.
When we used to depend on diesel generators we would get some short power outages (to go along with the days long outages.) Since I worked with big/very big diesel generators it was my opinion that when they want to switch from one generator to another they had turn off power, then bring the other generator on line. Usually (anywhere else in the world), you have the one generator on line, you start the other one, bring the sine wave of the two into phase and bring the second one on line and turn the first one off.
Looks like the Snooky power authority is having problems distributing the power they have. (TIC)(This Is Cambodia.) Maybe some general needed a new Lexus so he sold the copper power lines.

Be thankful you're not living in SR, they've been having massive power outages lately, lasting several days in some areas.

Re: Snookyville Power
The electricity companies buy diesel with revenue from consumers. Some of that goes into pockets, and the shortfall is covered by claiming there's not enough power.
They get richer, consumers pay and get less electricity for a period, then back to full production, 3 months later, same cycle.

Rolling (presumably) outages in TTP last night, seemed to be a pattern to which houses along each street were out, with everyone out with torches and ladders playing at the meters. I thought these things were managed by whole streets or suburbs.

Mine hasn't gone off at all this week downtown. Last week it was off-on-off-on-off-on. Now you could probably live w/out a generator. It's a lot better than when I moved here

Indeed, it's way better.
I don't actually care about Mon-Fri during the week, just nights and weekends I want power.
