The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has announced that projects to generate electricity from various types of waste will be implemented in Myanmar, in cooperation with Chinese partners.
To support the implementation of these waste-to-energy projects, a delegation from the Ministry visited the Grandtop Fushan Circular Economic Industrial Park in Guangzhou, where they held discussions with officials. The delegation also studied operational processes within the industrial park, including the sorting, storage, and transportation of different types of waste for power generation.
In addition to observing the stages involved in generating electricity from waste, the delegation examined how the electricity produced is transmitted through distribution lines and integrated into the national grid. They also observed how operations are monitored and controlled from the control room to ensure compliance with established standards.
According to the discussions, Myanmar will send a technical team to the Grandtop Fushan Circular Economic Industrial Park to undertake further studies. Likewise, China will dispatch technical teams to Myanmar to conduct on-site assessments and collaborate on the projects.
The Guangzhou Waste-to-Energy Power Plant, located within the industrial park, is the largest facility in China for generating electricity from waste. It has a processing capacity of 9,300 tonnes of waste per day, or approximately 3.1 million tonnes annually, and produces over 1,200 million units of electricity each year, which are supplied to the national grid.
