PHNOM PENH, Mar. 15, 2010 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia spent 59 million U.S. dollars on electricity imports from Thailand and Vietnam last year, local media reported on Monday, citing figures of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy.
The Kingdom purchased 226.76 billion kilowatt-hours in 2009 from Thailand for 19 million U.S. dollars, and 500.74 billion kWh from Vietnam for 40 million U.S. dollars.
New factories and apartment buildings had led to rising electricity demands, Ty Thany, director of the Department of Finance and Price Setting at the ministry was quoted by the Phnom Penh Post as saying.
