Earlier in 2014, Bergen Engines, part of Rolls-Royce Power Systems (RRPS), won a contract from engineering firm RGK+Z&A Group of Myanmar to supply engines and associated systems for Phase II of the Hlagwa power plant.
Located in Yangon near the Hlawga CCPP and main substation of MEPE, the Hlawga facility is a gas engine-based independent power plant (IPP).
The facility will supply power to the Yangon grid and the contract stipulates a 25MW capacity.
RGK+Z&A has already signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) and other related agreements for the plant with MOEP.
RGK+Z&A Group CEO Zeya Thura Mon said the company is committed to provide uninterrupted electricity to Myanmar by power generation with minimum resources.
"We believe that with the state of art solutions from Rolls-Royce Power Systems, we could achieve more output to deliver the Power needs," Thura Mon added.
Rolls-Royce said the Myanmar’s energy infrastructure is still developing and the country’s electrification rate is 26% with demand projected to increase rapidly.
