ABOUT 30 residents of Kandal province’s Kandal Stung district met with officials from the Electricity Authority of Cambodia on Wednesday about a pricing dispute that has dragged on for more than two months, and some attendees say they left disappointed after officials refused to adhere to their demands.
Last month, Kandal Stung residents began protesting a price increase that saw rates climb from 1,100 riels per kilowatt-hour to 1,700 riels (about US$0.41) per kilowatt-hour.
Soun Ny said Wednesday’s four-hour meeting with EAC officials and representatives of the local power provider had been a waste of time.
“Meeting face-to-face today was useless, because the officials from the authority didn’t agree to reduce the price,” she said.
Long Sokunthea, who also attended the meeting, said Kandal Stung residents had reluctantly agreed to pay the elevated rate for the past two months but would not do so forever.
