MoEP UM continues observation tours on electricity facilities in Moscow

Myanmar delegation led by Union Minister U Nyan Tun of the Ministry of Electric Power, visited the Zagorskaya PSPP hydropower plant near Moscow, Russia, on 13 October.
The Union Minister and his team viewed the water intake at the plant. They also visited the observation deck, the 500 KV switchyard, the power generators, and the control room around the power plant for further study.
The Zagorskaya PSPP hydropower plant, located near Moscow, regulates water flow from the Kunya River using sluice gates. With a catchment area of 22.4 million cubic metres (18,160 acre-feet), it generates 1,200 MW, primarily during daily peak consumption periods of about four hours. During off-peak hours, surplus water is pumped back into a 100-metre-high water storage tank, making it a pump-storage hydropower plant with significant benefits.
Next, in the plant’s meeting hall, Mr Tatiana Ivankina, the Chief Expert of RusHydro’s International Cooperation Department, discussed the production of turbine generators required for power plants. He provided technical assistance for hydroelectric power production, including the design and distribution of construction techniques and the development of human resources and technical services to maximize water resource utilization. Mr Satin Ilya, the Rosatom Project Manager, also presented information on small hydropower generation and investment opportunities in Myanmar.
The Union minister expressed the desire for enhanced cooperation between Russia and Myanmar in the field of electricity production, driven by friendship. He also mentioned the importance of inviting Russian friends and companies to invest in Myanmar and discussed their specific areas of interest and continued further discussions. — MNA/KZW
