A natural gas-powered electric
plant to be built by the Dawei Power and Utility Co, Ltd (DPU) will be
completed in January 2016, according to officials.
The power plant will be built in Yayphyu
Township, Taninthayi Region and will generate 500 MW according to Win
Swe, the regional minister for electric power.
The minister said that the project would
start construction after an environmental and social impact assessment
had been conducted at the end of 2013. The construction period had been
divided into three phases.
Local people from Taninthayi Region are
now paying for power at about K 500 per unit as the national grid is not
accessible to the public.
The construction period for the first
180-MW power plant will be from January 2014 to January 2015 as the
first phase of the project. Another 180-MW plant will be built between
July 2014 to July 2015 in the second phase and the last 160-MW plant
from December 2015 to December 2016.
