I am waiting with some level of trepidation my first electricity bill. Electric power has only become widespread again in Phnom Penh in the last decade, so I am told, and it's still very dear. My friends paid $100 for electricity in a one bed flat last month...
I have seen the power station. It has about 5 massive exhausts burning... wait for it... diesel . That's why it's so expensive, the whole of Phnom Penh is powered by a massive generator...
*****UPDATE*****
Well, it came... $127 for one month. For what is basically a bed sit! That's the price of aircon and running a fridge freezer in my sheltered outdoor kitchen...
