Notification To The Public: Power Lines And Gas Pipelines Blown Up And Destroyed

The Ministry of Electric Power issued a notification to the public regarding with the power transmission lines and natural gas pipelines blown up and destroyed by PDF terrorists.
The notification reads… the Ministry of Electric Power is working for power generation and power transmission in order for the public and industry to use electricity in respective regions and states. In addition, plans are being made to increase distribution for increasing power consumption. 2. At normal times, the maximum power generation is about (4,200 mW). However, as the production of LNG power plants, about (750 mW), has been stopped due to rising gas prices and two power lines that transmit electricity generated from the Baluchaung  hydropower plants were destroyed with mines by PDF insurgents, about 170 mW that is being regularly sent to the power system are not able to be sent, and there is a power cut. The total power generation capacity (920 mW) is decreasing, but now that the rainy season has arrived, due to the decrease in power consumption and the increase in irrigation water from hydropower plants, the power system is being regulated and distributed to ensure the continuous supply of electricity to the users. 3.
However, on 21-7-2022, the Zotika  gas pipeline was blown up with a mine by PDF terrorists, resulting in the inability to transmit 200 megawatts of power produced by the power plants using the gas into the power system and the 132 kV Shwesayan-Tagundine towers in the upper part of the power system was down to the ground, stability in the power system decreased and the entire power system experienced a power outage on 24-7-2022 due to load consumption and power transmission distribution conditions. 4. Furthermore, due to heavy rains and strong winds on 26-7-2022, a power outage occurred in the 132 kV Tikyit-Kalaw  power line, and the 230 kV Shwesayan-Aungpinle power line also experienced a power outage, reducing a total of 1,120 mW of power production in the power system and the stability of the power system, and another power outage occurred at about 15:36 hour. 5. Repairs are also being made to restore power to the current situation as soon as possible. 6. Therefore, as the power transmission lines and natural gas pipelines were blown up and destroyed, the public are requested to understand the power outages and to help and protect us from the acts of vandalism.
