VietNamNet Bridge – Cambodia’s capital city, Phnom Penh, will receive additional electricity from Vietnam later this month or by early May, helping to ease the city’s shortage of power for both industrial and domestic use, said Deputy Director of the Electricity of Cambodia (EdC) Chan Sodavath.
According to him, work on a transmission line connecting Vietnam’s An Giang Province via Takeo Province to Phnom Penh has been completed and once it becomes operational in late April or by early next month, the new line is expected to double the amount of electricity that Phnom Penh can now access.
Cambodia signed an agreement to buy electricity from Vietnam in early 2008, under which Vietnam will provide 200 MW of electricity for the Cambodian capital.
At present, the total electricity output in Phnom Penh is only 190MW, mainly from thermal power plants.

POOR DON'T CARE HOW MUCH POWER WE RECEIVED FROM WHICH SOURCE BUT WE CARE ABOUT THE PRICE. WILL THIS LEADS TO PRICE REDUCED? HOW MUCH THE GOVERNMENT PAY TO VN AND HOW MUCH THEY WILL SELL TO PEPOLE (PER KWH)? THAT IS NEEDED TO BE CLEAR.
when are we going to stop depending on our neighbors for electricity and air travel, etc? take air travel for example, i think cambodia should expand our airports to handle or accommodate long haul jumbo jets direct from all over the world so tourists and others won't have to fly or do a stop over in neighboring countries before they arrive in cambodia. there ought to be direct flight routes into cambodia from anywhere in the world. this way, whatever happen in thailand or vietnam tourists won't stop coming to cambodia when we don't depend on these neighbors for air travel, etc... wake up, cambodia, and see the world! yes, we can do this. let's demand for a better more service oriented cambodia travel industry. god bless cambodia.
