The World Bank said Wednesday it will grant $33.5 million for improving power supplies in Cambodia and Laos. "People living in Cambodia's poorest provinces, who currently pay among the highest tariffs for electricity in the world, will see their power bills drop dramatically as a result of grants approved today by the International Development Association," the World Bank said in a statement released in Phnom Penh.
