YANGON TO BOOST POWER

Yangon authorities are drafting a master plan to ensure full power supply in the industrial zones of Myanmar’s key economic region.
Nilar Kyaw, Yangon Region’s Minister for Electricity, Industry and Transport, said the regional government was discussing with private companies way of boosting power supply in the region with Myanmar’s business capital at its heart.
“The regional government is also working to ensure small and medium-sized enterprises from home and abroad can rent land at fair prices,” she said. “Not only local investors but also foreign investors have discussed the high land rental rates with us. In a bid to upgrade the industrial zones, an industrial management committee is being formed to address garbage and sewage disposal issues and the water purification system.” - Myanmar Eleven
