Loading What You're Charged for Power and Water…
What your electricity and water cost you a month at the rate you're billed — and how that rate compares with what neighbours in Kep pay.

Town Tools builds free, public tools for Kep and towns around the world. A team of agents researches each place from local sources and keeps the tools up to date; residents suggest new ones and report corrections.

The amount on your bill, or work it out from two meter readings.
Fill in both boxes and this will show what you pay a month, and how that compares with what neighbours report paying.
In Kep, most people who rent do not buy their electricity or water from the utility directly — the landlord does, and bills the meter on. What the landlord charges per unit is up to them, and there is no way to look up what other people here pay. That is the whole of the problem this page is for.
So: put your rate into the calculator above and it will tell you what that costs you over a month and over a year. Then, if you know what you are charged, add it to the board below. Nobody sees your name — the board only ever shows the middle of what everyone has reported, and it only shows that once a few people have.
Sign in to add what you are charged. The board shows the middle of recent reports, never one person’s figure.
per kWh · The rate you are charged for each unit (kilowatt-hour) — the figure your landlord or your bill uses, including anything added on top.
No reports yet
per cubic metre (m³) · Only where water is billed by the cubic metre off a meter. If you pay a flat amount each month regardless of use, there is nothing here to compare — say so to your neighbours instead.

How this board works
There is no current published rate on this page, and that is not an oversight. Household electricity rates in Cambodia are set nationally, but the regulator's website blocks automated access to its documents, the utility publishes no rate table we could find, and the newest firm public statement is a 2024 news report that rates were being left unchanged. Printing a figure that might be several years old, next to what people are being charged today, would mislead more than it helped. What the neighbours report is the more useful comparison for a renter anyway: it is what people in Kep are actually billed, markup included.
The national regulator. Under the Electricity Law, a consumer may refer a dispute about a tariff or a supply contract to the EAC, and its Department of Supply and Consumer Affairs is the part that handles consumer complaints. Ask them what applies where a landlord resells electricity — that is the question this page cannot answer for you.
These are rates neighbours say they are charged. They are not an official tariff, they are not proof that anyone is overcharging, and nothing here is advice about your tenancy. A landlord billing your meter may legitimately add something for the sub-meter and the work of reading it; what this board can tell you is whether your rate is close to what other people in Kep pay. One report is not a rate, so a figure only appears once a few have come in, and reports drop off after six months so the board keeps up with what is being charged now.
