POWER
Electric Power
Data regarding electric power is obtained from Myanma Electric
Power Enterprise (MEPE). It refers only to the activities
of MEPE which is the main distributor of electric power in
Myanmar.
Installed capacity indicates aggregate of name plate capacities
of Government Power Station under the control of the Myanma
Electric Power Enterprise only.
Units generated indicate the amount of electricity generated
by the power stations or system. It includes electric energy
used in power stations, total units sent out and line loss.
Units consumed indicate the amount of electric power consumed
by the power stations for departmental use plus power used
by the consumers.
Sales of electric power are classified into four categories
as follows:
1. General Purpose (General Purpose & Domestic Power)
2. Industrial Power (Industrial & Small Power)
3. Bulk (Commercial Power)
4. Other (Temporary lighting and street lighting)
The electric loss on the line is determined by the difference
between the units generated and the sum of consumption by
station auxiliaries and units sold.
