Background
In January 2013, it was reported that Mudajaya Group will start developing a 500 MW coal plant in the Mandalay region. The company described the 500 MW project as phase one. According to a source, “Myanmar has an open market policy and the government has no limit as to how big we can build the plant. Depending on fuel supply and use, the plant could get bigger.” Mudajaya has a 70 percent share in the special purpose vehicle while IJM Corp co-founder Datuk Koon Yew Yin will own the rest. Both parties in 2012 signed a memorandum of understanding with the Mandalay government to build two independent power plants in the Mandalay region and other areas. The feasibility project was expected to be completed within 12 months; that would be followed by a power purchase agreement and financial closure.[1]
However, as of April 2016 there have been no news since the announcement, and the project appears to be deferred or abandoned.
