UNION Minister for Electricity and Energy U Ko Ko Lwin met the Belarusian Energy Minister yesterday afternoon to discuss the implementation of the bilateral roadmap for cooperation in the electric power and energy sectors.
The Belarusian minister said the country mainly generates electricity from nuclear power and natural gas, highlighting its extensive experience in nuclear power plant operations and advanced technologies for gas and electricity transmission and distribution that help minimize losses. He reaffirmed Belaruss readiness to cooperate with Myanmar.
The Union minister stressed the importance of training skilled professionals and engineers for nuclear power plant operations. He expressed interest in sending Myanmar personnel to Belarus for on-the-job training in power plant operations as the country plans to start 500-KV transmission line management, monitoring and maintenance.
He also proposed cooperation in reducing technical power losses in transmission lines, switchyards and transformers, replacing ageing high-tension cables with stronger, more conductive composite cables manufactured in Belarus, minimizing electricity and natural gas losses, and upgrading and expanding fertilizer plants.
The two sides exchanged views on promoting cooperation and development in the electric power and energy sectors.
On 28 and 29 October, the union minister also visited transformer manufacturing facilities, design departments for natural gas and electricity distribution networks, control centres, electric cable manufacturing facilities and a petrochemical plant in Minsk.
