The Ministry of Electricity and Energy said it will increase electricity distribution to regions and states, including Yangon Region, by calculating output from various sources such as hydropower and natural gas.
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy said that, in addition to electricity currently generated from hydropower, natural gas-fired, coal-fired, and solar power plants in Myanmar, output from additional natural gas supplies will be calculated and distributed to regions and states, including Yangon Region, to increase the electricity supply.
“In Yangon Region, electricity supply will be increased from the previous 16-18 hours to 18-20 hours per day, while in Mandalay Region it will rise from 14-16 hours to 16-18 hours. In addition, supply to other states and regions will be increased from the current 12 hours to at least 14 hours per day,” said an official from the Ministry of Electricity and Energy.
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy will work to develop and implement an optimal power generation mix based on the energy resources available in Myanmar. It also plans to establish a power control system with technical assistance from Russia and will send experts to Russia for study and training.
