MoU signed for feasibility studies for 372 MW of wind farms in Myanmar

NovaWind, a unit of Rosatom, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of Myanmar to conduct feasibility studies for 372 MW of wind farms in the country. Rosatom will carry out a feasibility study covering the construction of 172 MW of wind parks in the region of Magway in central Myanmar. As part of the initiative, the company will collect wind measurement data at two sites in Minhla and Midon districts where it plans to install plants of 116 MW and 56 MW, respectively.

Preparations for early development works on the projects are expected to be launched soon.

Additionally, NovaWind and Myanmar’s Ministry of Electricity and Energy, along with Zeya & Associates, will collaborate on a project for the construction of a 200 MW wind farm in Kyaukpadaung and Nyaung-U in the central region of Mandalay. The parties are set to conduct a feasibility study and wind measurements related to the specific project.
