ACCORDING to the Northern Shan State Electricity Supply Enterprise, power has been restored in Nawnghkio and is being distributed as quickly as possible.
The main damaged 11 kV power line has been repaired, and power has been restored from PyinOoLwin to Nawnghkio since the evening of 28 July.
Recently, only parts of the city have power, and the government plans to restore power to the entire city by the end of August 2025.
“To ensure Nawnghkio’s power distribution, we have taken steps to supply the city with electricity as soon as possible. We are supplying 11 kV lines to the villages bordering Nawnghkio and from the national grid to the city areas- six wards and 69 villages. There are 15,025 electricity end-users”, said an electricity official.
The power system in Nawnghkio still needs 33 kV lines, 11 kV lines and 400 V lines repaired. Once the 33 kV Shwenyaungpin and Nawnghkio sub-stations are restored, they will be ready to supply regular power to Nawnghkio.
In recent days, the power has been restored to the people’s hospital, Myoma market, No 1 high school, two monasteries, seven military units, 12 governmental offices and 200 public houses.
The department has advised the public that returning residents will need to ask certified electricians to reinstall electricity in their houses.
