Completed and On-Going Projects
In 1995-96. two new gas turbine power stations with an Installed capacity of (100) MW each, comprising six GE frame (6) units from GEC Alsthom of France had been installed at Ahlone and Hlawga in Yangon. The Ahlone Gas Turbine Power Station was commissioned in April 1995 and second gas turbine power station at Hlawga was also commissioned in early 1996.
Addition of a combined cycle plant (34.5) MW at Tharkayta Power Station which has an initial installed capacity of (57) MW was commissioned in January 1996. Similar combined cycle plants (54) MW each were commissioned in May 1999 at Hlawga Power Station which has an initial installed capacity of (100) MW and also at Ahlone Power Station in September 1999 which has an installed capacity of (100) MW thereby increasing the total capacity to (399.5) MW.
On hydro power development, the Baluchaung No. 1 Hydroelectric Power Station with an installed capacity of 28 MW ( 2 No. of 14 MW units ) upstream of Baluchaung No. 2 was completed and commissioned in August 1992. The Sedawgyi Hydroelectric Power Station with an installed capacity of 25 MW ( 2 No. of 12.5 MW units ) was commissioned in June 1989 and the Zawgyi (1) power station in the Shan State with an installed capacity of 18 MW ( 3 No. of 6 MW units ) was commissioned in July 1995. The Zawgyi (2) power station, upstream of Zawgyi (1) was completed in November 1998. Zaungtu power station with an installed capacity of 20 MW ( 2 No. of 10 MW units) was commissioned in March 2000.
In order to fulfill the ever-increasing demand of electricity in the country, MEPE had tried to initiate the construction of large scale hydroelectric power projects but managed to develop small and medium hydro power projects only.
