Shaming season is back! If you speak ill of the EDC they will track you down and photograph you while forcing you to sign an apology.
If you refuse they will shut down your service and send you back to the dark ages wishing you had never ran your mouth on Facebook.
First up is a lady called Prak Naly who questioned her bills for March and April. EDC educated her and forced her to apologize and now everybody is happy.

Bringing the news. You stay classy, nas, Cambodia.
It would be interesting to know if those meters are actually measuring Current or Power.
(I thinks it might have been discussed before but couldn't find which thread on which website though..)
If it measures the current only, then we have to blindly believe that EDC supplies a steady 220V.
I hope some experts will show up

Yes, that has been discussed before, I think, on this thread.
The meter likely only measures current. So, IF the voltage goes down, for the same amount of power, the current goes up. And IF the voltage goes down too much, your airco, fridge and whatever having an electric motor inside, my get damaged/breaks.
But, this is very hard to prove. It could very well be, you were lucky in the past and got delivered 240 VAC, and now they do deliver 220 VAC. Nearly 10% difference, though impossible to prove.
So, when you complain, you really need to know what you are talking about, as well, have past measurements logged in an indisputable way. Or so to say. Nop, not possible. But, that's not only in Cambodia, though about everywhere on earth.
Put some solar panels on the roof, that might help to reduce the costs, since the time period those solar panels produce power, your electricity demand is the highest (airco and fridge).

My March bill was 122,000 @610 riel a unit
My April bill 195,000@730 a unit....
What happened to the discount?

As far as I remember, higher users get charged a higher per unit cost.
So you must have just tipped over the threshold.

He added that those families whose livelihoods are affected badly by the lockdown in Phnom Penh and Takhmao city will also get a two month bill waiver for electricity and water.
My maffs aint good ,but one ton of rice distributed at 25 kg per family will feed 40 families. 10 tons will feed 400 families . How many families are located around one garment factory ?

For 200kwh/month and below, you are in the KHR 610 break. And for >200 kwh/month you are in the KHR 730 price break. See:
Phnom Penh post with EDC price changes (CPP electoral promise)
Her bill says "small commercial" and seems to be flat rate. Basically 0 bill for three months (vacant premises?), then bam! 2 million v riel is about right for a small business with 3 to 4 air conditioners.Bong Burgundy wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 3:03 pmShaming season is back!

500 quid for 3-4 aircons?
That seems pretty steep to me, unless they are running them 36 hours a day.

In one of my properties i have a whole building stabilizer which shows the voltage in input and it is almost always floating between 190V and 230V often swinging quite a bit.
Yeah, with more and more load on the local grids, the voltage will drop regularly and more and more. Implying for the same amount of power to be drawn, it needs more time, so the meter runs for a longer period. Not that difficult.jackrossi wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 10:39 amv12 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 7:18 pmYes, that has been discussed before, I think, on this thread.

If these voltage drops get longer and more often than in the past, your bill would go up. IF your voltages does not drop, that won't be a cause for an E-Bill to go up.
Our bill is suddenly a 100 dollar higher despite using less electricity because of the lockdown. If you want to complain you have to visit their office in person. Great idea as they are in an Orange zone and we are in Yellow....
Remember they said a few days back anybody who struggle did not have to pay this month but could do it later? The cunts have a surprise for you today....
