(Xinhua) Cambodia is to get a World Bank grant to construct a trans border transmission line to Vietnam and Laos to reduce high electricity fees in remote provinces.

According to a World Bank statement, $18.5 million would be provided to Cambodia.This will lead to the country's poorest provinces benefiting from reduced power prices and consistency in supply. Power tariff has been running high for years in Cambodia due to lack of infrastructure to generate enough electricity. Source: http://in.news.yahoo.com/070607/43/6gr2h.html
