Thailand – Myanmar’s Energy Cooperation Projects

Thailand and Myanmar have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Energy on 4 July 1997 in order to develop a partnership to purchase electricity from Myanmar at 1,500 MW.

However, the MOU has expired since 2010 and therefore need to sign MOU to negotiate a new contract with Myanmar further.

Potential projects in Myanmar, including a number of projects.
          The Mai – Kok project (Lignite 390 MW)
                • the agreement has expired
                • Currently the project developer has arranged to negotiate for the new power purchase agreement.

          Hajji Project (1360 MW) and MI tong Project (7000 MW)
                • Is under studying.
                • It plans to develop a proposal to sell electricity to Thailand.

In addition to the above project Myanmar with abundant water resources can bring more power projects on the Salween and the Lower Salween area.
