❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Electricity Tariffs in Cambodia
Why does the unit price increase if I use more than 200 kWh? ▼
Under EAC social tariff design, low-income households consuming modest electricity receive government subsidies (paying 380 to 480 KHR/kWh). Households with air conditioning and heavy electrical appliances consuming more than 200 kWh per month are billed at the non-subsidized economic cost of 730 KHR/kWh for their entire usage.
Can I install rooftop solar on my house or factory in Cambodia? ▼
Under EAC regulations on rooftop solar, consumers may install grid-connected solar installations with prior EDC authorization. Commercial and industrial solar systems face capacity charges based on installed kWp and contract demand.
Are there peak and off-peak tariff periods for industrial consumers? ▼
Medium-voltage (MV) and high-voltage (HV) industrial consumers connected to sub-stations can opt for Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs featuring peak rates during daytime manufacturing hours and lower off-peak rates during late-night shifts to balance grid demand.
What should a tenant do if their landlord overcharges for electricity? ▼
The Electricity Authority of Cambodia explicitly prohibits landlords and room rental operators from reselling electricity to workers and students at inflated rates (e.g. 1,000 to 1,500 KHR/kWh). Landlords are legally required to pass through the official EDC subsidized tariff, and tenants can report violations to the EAC consumer hotline.
How does currency conversion affect electricity bills in Cambodia? ▼
All official EDC electricity bills are issued in Cambodian Riel (KHR). While many consumers budget in USD, payment is converted at the daily bank exchange rate or settled via domestic banking apps directly in KHR to promote the national currency.
