The proposed solar power and agriculture project involves establishment of a solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant in Pyi Gyi Tagon Township, Mandalay Region, which is approximately 14 kilometers away from the downtown of Mandalay City. It will have an installed capacity of 60 megawatts (MW) and average annual generation of 137gigawatt hours (GWh).

This project that will be connected to the national grid after completion will supply electricity to the people in Mandalay Region especially during the summer season, and use globally leading technologies, and environmentally and socially safe practices in PV power development.

The on-grid 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 is aligned with the Government’s strategy of developing and enhancing the role of the private sector in the economy.
