Power outages and traffic lights
Just wait until the Chom Chao flyover work starts.
I really can't be doing with driving/riding to PP any longer, even though it's only 40km.
For my next trick, I'm planning to move into the mangroves, where the nearest civilisation is Chinuokville.
The things we do for love and money.

turning to solar power is the best move, I still have a few spare generators from the boats but last time I lent one out I had to chase it down, No good deed goes unpunished:)

EDC has been posting updates on their FB.
Such as: Electricité du Cambodge (EDC) - program of cutting off electricity according to time and position as follows:
Group 1
Suspend the supply on odd days from 6:00 o'clock until 12:00 o'clock. Suspend the supply on even days from 12:00 o'clock until 18:00 o'clock.
Table:
Seq. No. -- Electric substation -- Name of electric switch -- P(MW) -- Location supplied -- Various.
Example lines from the table:
18 -- 2nd electric substation -- F22B -- 7.50 MW -- Vietnamese Embassy.
19 -- 3rd electric substation -- F1A -- 5.40 MW -- Veng Sreng Boulevard.
22 -- 3rd electric substation -- F12A -- 4.20 MW -- Stung Meanchey.
23 -- 3rd electric substation -- F19 -- 5.00 MW -- Street 2004 up to Chaom Chau LBS 112.
The sum of the table is 543.92 MW.
Group 2 is time reversed”

That schedule will be as about as reliable as a Cambodian railway timetable.
It's been on and off for us, following a vague a.m. / p.m. pattern, but going off and on at different times every day.
It's a problem for us and our business as I'm sure it is for everyone else. Caught us by surprise as it's been a few years since we had a problem. Our generator gets us by but it can't power everything at once. Plus there's the cost of running and maintaining it.
Do the big factories have a pass on this from EDC, or do they have to generate their own power like us? Either way it's pretty bad for business, coming at a time when EBA is under review, wages are on the rise, etc, etc.

Things seem smoother without the traffic lights, at least.
Good grief.

Serious question: how many new diesel/coal-fired power stations have been built in Cambodia since 2000?
FACT: it takes around 5 years from planning stage to production stage with power stations.
Hydro-electricity is TOTALLY unsuited to SE Asia, simply because peak demand period is April/May, when rainfall is lowest, demand is highest, ergo, why build a dam? But hey, $300 million dollars is small change. Right?

There's two acre sized factories near the place I'm staying at just outside pp and have big diesel generators that kick on when the power goes out. Just anecdotal.
The traffic light thing is brilliant when combined with a lack of boys in blue.
What used to be a shitfight of Toul Kork roundabout, became an even bigger shitfight of ludicrous traffic lights with jams backed up for streets. But Monday, no lights, no police- no traffic, at 8.30am!
All this construction of empty towers in PP needing power, a million more Chinese in Shanghaiville to feed & the country has gone to pot. These cuts remind me of when I first arrived 15 years back; only then it was for a week or two on & off, seems this one will run for a couple of months?

That's what's weird. To prevent congestion in the area I live near a one-way system was introduced maybe six months ago and is mainly enforced in the mornings. So these bridges/ bottlenecks that used to flow pretty well are now constant jams at that time. The organic way seemed to work better as long as no long vehicles were going in different directions.Spigzy wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 9:30 pmThe traffic light thing is brilliant when combined with a lack of boys in blue.

Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
I'm still in favour of the death penalty for those riding/driving the wrong way up a one way street. Coming in at a bit of a weird angle at a junction, but slow and pushy, yet mostly polite is OK- those wankers coming at you the wrong way entirely, at speed with that stupid grin, knowing they're screwing things up for everyone, different animal!Lucky Lucan wrote: ↑Wed Mar 20, 2019 11:01 pmThat's what's weird.

hey! they might go against the one way street and cross the busiest junctions at batshit crazy speeds BUT THEY HONKED so it is all super safe, right!?Spigzy wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2019 12:27 amI'm still in favour of the death penalty for those riding/driving the wrong way up a one way street.

Ah sorry, if they HONK, of course - that just warrants a shake of the head and a tut.

The power was out when I came home from work at 6 pm to my home in Borey Peng Houth. It didn't return till 2 am. So much for a good night's sleep. This is getting ridiculous.
