Project Description
This will connect the isolated grid at Mawlamyine to the main grid, thereby bringing the 500-kV Myanmar system closer to the Thai grid for future interconnection. This will result in lower costs and improved reliability of the power supply in the Mawlamyine area, which will be the western terminus of the GMS EWEC. The costs are estimated based on 360 km of a single-circuit 500- kV line at $1.5 million/km and two 500-kV substations at $50 million each. (Tentative routing: Mawlamyine-Thahtone-Bago)
Progress (as of March 2021)
Ongoing. Assessment study on-going
