Monday, March 30, 2015
TOKYO - Toshiba Hydro Power (Hangzhou) Co, Ltd(THPC), a Chinese subsidiary that manufactures, sells and maintains hydroelectric equipment, has won a major order to supply four units of 77-megawatt hydro turbine and generator for Myanmar Electric Power Enterprise's Upper Yeywa hydropower plant.

Myanmar Electric Power Enterprise will construct the plant northeast of Mandalay, with deliveries to the project's EPC contractor, China's Zhejiang Orient Engineering Co, Ltd, to start in March 2016.

Toshiba Group previously supplied a hydraulic turbine for the 28.4MW Sedawgyi hydroelectric power plant in 1989, making this the second commission from Myanmar. Hydroelectricity is currently Myanmar's primary source of electricity, accounting for approximately 75 percent of the country's power supply. There are plans to build more power plants in Myanmar to meet growing energy needs triggered by the country's strong economic growth.
