Hanoi (VNA) – The Electricity Authority of Cambodia (EAC) has said
Cambodia will not face the shortage of electricity during this dry season due
to falling demand caused by COVID-19.
The Phnom
Penh Post quoted CEO of the EAC Teng Sokomal as saying that there is no
significant increase in electricity demand this year as the pandemic had caused
some garment factories and hospitality industries to suspend operations.
He forecast that demand for electricity this year will
decline by 20 percent, compared to an increase of around 30 percent last year.
Director General
of the General Department of Energy Victor Jona said when demand is
down, electricity imports from neighbouring countries will be reduced./.
