Chibwaynge Power Plant to sell power to Kachin State

Chibwayage power plant from China Power Investment Corporation (CPI) will start distribute power to Kachin State before the end of this year.

There are three 33.3 megawatt power plants in Chipbwaynge. It can produce 99.9 Mega Watt and before the end of October, the first power plant will be commissioned into service.

Concerning that matter, State Power Manager Than Tint said, “Distribution to Myitkyina and Waingmaw is certain. Constructions of power lines and sub-power stations have been completed. We haven’t decided the price yet. At Moegaung, power grid will be connected. All the three power plants are to be in service. But we don’t know what agreement has been made at the Union level.”

Some parts of the power plant and some power lines were destroyed at a time when the clashes broke out between the Government and the KIA in 2012.

In order to distribute power, a branch from Chibway- Washaung- Myitsone power station to Chibway- Washaung- Waingmaw with 132 KV.  At Waingmaw, a power station of 132/66 has been built and in Myitkyina 66/11 KV sub-power station has been built.

“Buukha Company needed 5 Megawatt. We have told about it to the CPI that we are ready but they are hesitating. But now they promised to finish before December,” said State Minister La Jun Ngan Sai.

“We have no idea about that. Though it is said outside, we got no specific orders. I think coordination will be made at the upper level. In summer, the need for power is greater,” said distribution manager of Buukha Company, la Aung.

The power has been supplied to Myitkyina and Waimaw through Mali hydro power plant owned by KIA. It is needed that 15 Megawatt for two cities but only 10 Megawatt obtained. The need of 5 Megawatt is supplied alternatively.

PutaO district and some parts of Kachin State haven’t got power supply till now.
