Inspections aimed at preventing power loss, unauthorized usage in northern Yangon

The inspections are conducted as a project to find instances of unofficial power consumption, according to the Ministry of Electricity.
The Eastern District Electricity Manager’s Office is currently overseeing inspections across townships in the Eastern District to mitigate power loss and ensure compliance with electricity regulations, including preventing unauthorized usage and addressing outstanding electricity bills.
In Shwepaukkan, 14 project teams, under the leadership of the district electrical manager and engineer, were deployed to conduct field inspections from 22 March onwards. Their primary objective is to identify instances of unofficial power consumption.
During these inspections, the teams examined a total of 340 electric meters that were either malfunctioning, unfunctioned, or experiencing slow performance.
Similarly, on 20 and 21 March, 14 more field inspection teams were constituted, including district groups in Dagon Myothit (North) Township. There are reportedly 2,155 electricity users in the township. — TWA/ MKKS
