Ayeyarwady Distribution Line Project — Delivering Reliable Power for Ayeyarwady
The Ayeyarwady distribution line project (2024–2026) is a regional program delivered by Yaung Ni Oo Electric to modernize low- and medium-voltage networks. Under Ayeyarwady Region Government funding, the works improve safety, expand capacity, and cut interruptions so townships can access dependable, 24-hour power.
Geographic Coverage & Phasing
2024–2025: Village/ward electrification and feeder upgrades in Kyaunggon, Yekyi, Hinthada, Ngapudaw, Shwethaungyan, Pathein.
2025–2026: Continued rollout in Pathein, Myaungmya, Danubyu, Zalun, Kangyidaunt, Yekyi, Ngapudaw, Dedaye, reinforcing corridors serving housing estates, markets, schools, and clinics.
Planning, Schedule & HSE (120 Days / 960 Hours per Package)
Each package was sequenced around the rainy season to maintain access and quality. Multidisciplinary teams handled survey, civil, electrical, logistics, and HSE; long-lead items (conductors, poles, transformers, switchgear) were staged early. Daily toolbox talks, permit-to-work routines, energized-network proximity procedures, and traffic management kept crews and communities safe.
Turnkey Scope & Technical Works
Delivered on a full turnkey basis—survey, design, procurement, construction, testing, commissioning:
- Overhead lines: construction/uprating of 400 V and 11 kV (SAC/ACSR); selective 33 kV feeders where required
- Underground systems (where specified): MV/LV cables with jointing, terminations, link boxes, route markers, and reinstatement
- Transformers: installation of 11/0.4 kV units (and 33/0.4 kV where required); LV take-offs, earthing, surge protection, metering
- Switching & protection: 12 kV VCB panels (where specified), sectionalizing points, coordination and relay settings
- Quality & documentation: QA/QC checkpoints, test reports, as-built drawings, and O&M guidance aligned to national/international standards
Challenges & Mitigations (Monsoon, Access, Logistics)
Delta soils and seasonal rain affected foundations and transport. The team mitigated by re-sequencing foundations/stringing to weather windows, using temporary access pads and barricades near public routes, coordinating deliveries to keep continuous work fronts, and enforcing work-at-height and live-network controls.
Outcomes & Community Benefits
- Fewer outages and faster restoration through sectionalizing and VCB switching
- Improved voltage on critical 11 kV line Ayeyarwady feeders
- Lower technical losses from reconductoring and transformer right-sizing
- Safer streetside networks with compliant clearances and tidier service routing
- Capacity headroom for housing, SME growth, health, and education services
Handover & Compliance
All completed packages were tested, commissioned, and handed over to the Ayeyarwady Electricity Supply Department with full documentation. Materials and workmanship complied with national and international quality standards, ensuring durable performance for electricity distribution Ayeyarwady.
