Thanlyin and Thakayta Power Plant projects are aiming for increased power output of 500 megawatts to meet the Yangon Region’s electricity demand, according to the Electricity and Energy Development Commission.

The Floating Storage Unit (FSU) for liquefied natural gas (LNG) docked at Thilawa Port, the regasification unit, and Thanlyin 200-MW power plant are initially producing 150 MW to meet growing demand in the region, and efforts are being exerted to generate more power output up to 500 MW.

Moreover, efforts are being made to minimize wastage as LNG is a high-cost energy resource, ensure the continuous operation of power generators and maintain the efficiency of the machine. Thanlyin 200-MW power plant is generating an initial output of 150 MW. FSU, an LNG carrier vessel, has docked for LNG supply, and the regasification unit has completed trial operation and started generating the trial output of 40 MW. Power generation has increased to 150 MW starting from 17 December. Those projects will generate increased power output to meet the electricity needs of the public and industrial zones.
