The Kyeeon Kyeewa 30 MW Solar Power Project in Central Myanmar, the first batch of the photovoltaic project cluster invested by Power Construction Corporation of China (POWERCHINA) in the country, has been put into operation.
The power station is the fourth China-built PV power generation project in the country and is expected to produce 63.7 million kilowatt-hours of power annually, meeting domestic demands of 29,670 households.
Operation of the project is expected to relieve power shortages in Central Myanmar and will promote POWERCHINA's development in the country and neighboring countries.

The project cluster, with a total investment of about $149 million, is the first PV power project cluster that was invested and built by POWERCHINA overseas. It is also the largest new energy power generation project cluster in Myanmar.
With an installed capacity of 160 megawatts, the PV project cluster is capable of generating 342 million kilowatt-hours of power annually, which can meet domestic demand of 1 million rural households.
