In the announcement, the Ministry said that the Ministry of Electric Power carries out arrangements to increase generating electricity in various ways for meeting the public demand. As electrification cannot sufficiently meet the demand of the people at present, supply of electricity is based on a fairly supply basis depending on the generating electricity.

In so doing, PDF terrorists under NUG are making attempts to intentionally destroy and explode the electrical infrastructures in generating and supplying electricity to the people. On 22 January, 2023, a tower of 132KV Biluchaung (2)-Tikyit double power cables on which electricity generated from Biluchaung hydropower plants are being fed to the national grid was blown up in Loikaw Township of Kayah State.

As such, such a tower collapsed. Although such a power cable has been destroyed eight times including this time and 23 towers were also destroyed, the Ministry of Electric Power arranges repairing of the towers as quickly as possible. Hence, PDF terrorists under NUG has intentionally blown up power plants, power cables and sub-power stations being operated for electrifying the people 218 times. The Ministry of Electric Power is carrying out repairing tasks in cooperation with the security forces.
