The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • A Conviction, Finally P.S. Suryanarayana August 11, 2010
    A conviction, finally P.S. Suryanarayana August 11, 2010 It is an old adage that justice delayed is justice denied. However, delayed justice in a case relating to a horrific crime like genocide cannot be brushed aside on the only basis of such a perspective. More so when the issue concerns a three-decade-old genocide in a developing country like Cambodia, which is still coming to terms with its sense of national loss caused by that period of genocides. On July 26, the Trial Chamber of the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC) handed down the first-ever judicial verdict on the genocide committed by the Pol- Pot-led Khmer Rouge in that country during the 1970s – April 1975 to January 1979. An estimated three million people perished when they were subjected to physical, political and social forms of genocide. Surely, the latest verdict in Phnom Penh is not about the notorious Pol Pot himself, who died over a decade ago. Nonetheless, the case relating to a Khmer Rouge prison chief, Kaing Guek Eav (67), also known as Duch, reflects a degree of social resilience that Cambodia can perhaps take credit for. The very fact of this judgment, not its finer details, can account for a celebration of justice. As of the end of July, the verdict is still open to the possibility of an appeal. Cambodia, more particularly the present government led by Hun Sen, has often been criticised for being soft on the Khmer Rouge. Such criticism is particularly pronounced in the Western circles, well known for demanding differential standards of justice on different occasions and in respect of different places.

  • Khmer Rouge Tribunal Hears 1St Testimony from Survivor of Deadliest Torture Center Sopheng Cheang June 29, 2009
    Khmer Rouge tribunal hears 1st testimony from survivor of deadliest torture center Sopheng Cheang June 29, 2009 One of the few survivors of the Khmer Rouge's deadliest torture center gave a long- awaited testimony Monday, weeping as he recounted life at the facility where 16,000 others were tortured before execution. Vann Nath, 63, escaped execution because he was an artist and took the job of painting and sculpting portraits of the Khmer Rouge's late leader, Pol Pot. His special status did not spare him misery. The conditions were so inhumane and the food was so little," Vann Nath told the tribunal, tears streaming down his face. "I even thought eating human flesh would be a good meal." Vann Nath said he was fed twice a day, each meal consisting of three teaspoons of rice porridge. Prisoners were kept shackled and ordered not to speak or move. "We were so hungry, we would eat insects that dropped from the ceiling," Vann Nath said. "We would quickly grab and eat them so we could avoid being seen by the guards." "We ate our meals next to dead bodies, and we didn't care because we were like animals," he added. The testimony came at the trial of Kaing Guek Eav — better known as Duch, who headed the S-21 prison in Phnom Penh from 1975-1979. Up to 16,000 men, women and children were tortured under his command and later taken away to be killed. Vann Nath is thought to be one of only seven survivors of S-21, and one of three still alive today, said tribunal spokesman Reach Sambath.
