Myanmar may host Southeast Asia’s largest hydropower plant

Three Asian countries are studying ways to create Southeast Asia's largest hydropower project by generation capacity in Myanmar.



The Chinese government reported that China, Myanmar and Thailand have agreed to study a 7,000-MW project worth $10 billion that would be built on the Salween River in over 15 years.

China Three Gorges Corp., Sinohydro Corp. and China Southern Power Grid Co. will work with the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand and the International Group of Entrepreneur Co. in Myanmar on the study.

China is planning to add hydropower capacity in its southern provinces and to help build hydropower projects in neighboring countries, including Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia, to meet demand from the region.
