EdC Power Rationing to Continue Until Rainy Season
A senior official at the state-owned Electricite du Cambodge (EdC) said yesterday that blackouts in Phnom Penh could persist until the onset of the rainy season in June. EdC last week began rationing power citywide, as Phnom Penh is currently short about 100 megawatts of electricity per day. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said the problem could continue until it cools down.
