Maintenance works are underway at the Thakayta, Ahlon and Shweli power stations so temporary power outages will occur in some townships in Yangon Region, according to the Yangon Electricity Supply Cooperation.
Among electric power generators in Yangon Region, the Thakayta U Energy power station is under repair and the distribution of approximately 106 mW can be reduced while Ahlon Toyo Thai power generator is under maintenance with the distribution being reduced by approximately 55 mW.
Similarly, the Shweli Hydropower Plant and the Ahlon CECC power station are also under repair and there are shortages of power distribution. Furthermore, the seasonal temperature rises during this week and the electricity consumption in Yangon Region is also increasing.
Therefore, in order to stabilize the power system, emergency load reduction is being carried out when electricity consumption is high in Yangon Region. Temporary power outages will occur in some townships in Yangon Region, and measures will be taken to ensure that there are no power outages in important areas, according to the Yangon Electricity Supply Cooperation. — TWA/GNLM
