The proposed project involves establishment of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Nabuaing Township, Myingyan District, Mandalay Region with an installed capacity of 150 megawatts (MW) and average annual generation of 305 gigawatt hours (GWh).

The Nabuaing Solar PV Power Plant will interconnect with the grid through a 132 kV double circuit, single conductor transmission line into the existing Myingyan 132 kV substation located in Myingyan, Mandalay Division, which is approximately 27 miles from the Nabuaing site location.

This grid-connected solar PV power plant will supply electricity to the people in Mandalay Region especially during the dry season; and use globally leading technologies, practices and experience in solar power development.

The Memorandum of Agreement and Power Purchase Agreement had been already signed in 2014 and 2016, respectively. The Environmental and Social Impact Assessment Report was approved by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation in 2018.

The project aims to contribute to fulfillment of Myanmar’s rapidly growing electricity demand, and facilitate achievement of the target electrification of the whole country by the year 2029-2030. It will also help achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy.
