To provide electricity before height of the dry season arrives in March, new power plants need to be completed on time, says Deputy Minister of Electricity and Energy U Khin Maung Win. Seven new power plants that are expected to generate more than 1,000 megawatts of additional electricity are being built in Magwe, Shwetaung, Kyunchaung, Ahlone, Kyaukphyu, Thanlyin, and Thaketa, with the aim of fulfilling the projected increase in demand nationwide for electricity during the hot season.
