Yangon faces power reduction due to gas pipeline maintenance

The Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) has announced a week-long decrease in power supply across Yangon. This reduction is necessary due to maintenance work on the natural gas pipelines of the Yadana offshore block.
According to YESC, repair work on the Yadana offshore natural gas pipelines, which supply gas to power plants in Yangon Region, is scheduled from 10 to 17 April.
During the maintenance period, the capacity for power generation and transmission will be reduced. As a result, emergency load reduction measures will be put in place, leading to temporary power outages in some townships in Yangon. — TWA/MKKS
