While the cost of electricity along various provinces is fluctuating with the price of oil, in Phnom Penh, a rumor indicated that EdC plans to increase the price of electricity in 2008. Tan Kim Vin, the director of EdC, told the Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper on 30 January that the gasoline price hike brought losses to EdC, but that EdC has no plan to increase the price of electricity to make up for the increased price of oil, because the EdC loss is supplemented by government subsidies. An official of EdC told the newspaper that, currently, in Phnom Penh, the number of electricity users reaches 190,000. Each month, the number of electricity users increases between 700 to 1,000. This demand forces EdC to find new source of electricity to fulfill the demands of its users.

My landlord tells me that EdC raised the price already months ago?
