Grant Description
On October 9, 2003, Myanmar Electric Power authorities signed a contract with China's Sichuan Machinery and Equipment Import and Export Company and Ningbo Huyong Electric Power Material Co. to provide equipment for a 230KV double transmission line extending from Shweli power plant (captured in #63973) in Northern Shan State to Mandalay.
Ningbo Huyong Electric Power Material Co. provided engineering services for the 230 kV-350 kV steel power transmission towers. The companies will also provide equipment to three other sub-stations covered by the transmission line.
Under the contract, the Chinese side is also responsible for supervision of the project site, technical services and personnel training. The US$34.72-million project will be completed in 22 months. Construction began in 2002.
On Dec. 10, 2006, the project realized river closure; on Sep. 5, 2008, the first unit was put into operation; in 2008, four units were put into operation within one year, which renewed a record of construction speed of hydropower stations of similar size in China. In April, 2009, the last unit was put into operation
