"Voltage 220 v, 3000 watts of power, the power bureau issued by the license of the electricity hotel dozens of air conditioner problems didn't start at the same time, absolutely not power," in Myanmar, about 40 kilometers south of the northern city of Mandalay her honey Jiao xi town, eternal hotel manager called (pointing to the certificate on the wall, and confidently clap breast to the reporter, "opened last year, the hotel occupancy rate at 80%, thanks to Jiao xi power plant!"

Located in the town of Kyaukhee, 37 kilometers south of Mandalay, Kyaukhee power plant was jointly invested by Myanmar NIHC and MCM company and contracted by EPC of Shandong power construction no. 3 engineering co., LTD., a subsidiary of China power construction corporation. The project started in July 2018 and was completed in April 2019. As Myanmar's largest internal combustion engine power project, Kyaukget gas power station generates 1.274 billion kilowatt-hours of clean electricity per year, providing electricity to 2.7 million people."The plant will not only greatly increase the power supply of Mandalay region, also by the national grid supplies elsewhere, I expressed relief for her honey haired xi power to overcome difficulties and put into production on schedule and admiration," special power station was completed and put into production at the ceremony of Burma's senior minister said aung SAN suu kyi, myanmar's current electricity shortfall in more than 50%, after her honey haired xi power plant put into operation, will be connected to the national grid, benefit more people in Burma.

Near kyaukget is KAMAX, Myanmar's first motorcycle assembly plant, which was relocated from Rangoon in 2017. Entering the factory, the reporter saw the assembled motorcycle neatly parked in the factory, waiting for transport to all parts of Myanmar. On the production line in the workshop, dozens of Burmese workers assemble motorcycles in an orderly fashion. Previously, when power was cut off, assembly lines stopped, wasting time, while the cost of using diesel generators increased several times. Thank you very much to the Chinese company for building the power plant, "Motun said, holding out his thumb.

At present, the electrification rate of Myanmar residents is only 38 percent, one of the low level countries in the world. Hydropower is the most important form of power generation in Myanmar, accounting for 60.4%. Natural gas is next at 35.6 per cent. In order to achieve the goal of nationwide electrification by 2030, the Myanmar government is formulating various power development plans, including hydropower, gas power generation, wind power and solar power generation. China-Myanmar power infrastructure construction cooperation is an important part of the "One Belt And One Road" construction and also the backbone of china-Myanmar economic corridor. "Due to the imbalance of power structure, the output of hydropower stations during the dry season has been greatly reduced, highlighting the role of natural gas power plants," said li wei, deputy project manager of the kyaukhi gas power station.

Turbine into Burma market since the 1990 s, China has performed about 40 projects, accumulative total contract totalled $2.6 billion, the main business covers electricity, power grids, communications infrastructure, etc., involved in Burma's most hydropower station survey design, construction to "the three gorges project" - "to station in Myanmar, too at pingkiang level of hydropower station, up to the Jeddah gas-fired power stations, a large number of her honey haired xi gas-fired power stations landmark projects, and compiled the first system to reflect the Burmese national hydropower development planning report over the next 20 years. Among them, Dajida gas-steam combined cycle power plant has set a new record for the construction of natural gas power station with the highest operating efficiency and the lowest energy consumption in Myanmar.

Of course, a single power plant still cannot fully solve the shortage of electricity in the Mandalay region. During the interview in Mandalay, journalists encountered power cuts every day, whether in hotels, restaurants, businesses or schools. Many shops have generators on hand, but the noise and high fuel costs are both annoying and painful. "We are looking forward to building more natural gas power plants like Jiaoxi power plant, so that even in the dry season, there will be no power cuts," a number of residents told reporters.
