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.
