Conditions for Suspension or Termination of Power Supply
PEA stated that electricity supply may be suspended or terminated under the following circumstances:
- A formal request for contract termination is submitted by the Cambodian party (either the Cambodian government or embassy).
- The National Security Council of Thailand (NSC) issues an official directive to cease electricity supply and terminate the agreement.
- Contract violations occur, such as failure to pay electricity bills or insufficient security deposit.
“As of now, no official instructions have been issued by the NSC, nor have there been any formal requests from Cambodia to cancel electricity supply agreements.” – PEA Statement
This clarification comes amid heightened tensions at the Thai-Cambodian border. The PEA reiterated its commitment to honoring all contractual obligations and affirmed that any changes in supply will be made only under legal and governmental directives.
