Mee Lin Gyaing Integrated LNG To Power Project, Myanmar

On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties, China and Myanmar will further strengthen cooperation in energy and electricity to promote common development.
YEIG, Yunnan Energy Investment Group Co., Ltd, as a leading energy enterprise from Yunnan, China, planned to develop Integrated LNG To Power Project in Mee Lin Gyaing, Myanmar.
 
Myanmar has been short of electric power for a long time, which severely hinders its economic development. According to national electricity master plan in 2014, the total installed capacity electricity will reach up to 28,784MW by 2030, but only 5,000MW at present. The investment by YEIG will greatly alleviate power shortage problems.
 
The LNG terminal is located adjacent to the gas power plant with designed capacity of 1.5 million t/y. It consists of LNG unloading system, 2 full containment concrete 160,000m³ LNG storage tanks, BOG handling system, gasification units, facilities, flare system, administrative buildings, etc.
 
HalcrowSea was retained to carry out design review of its FEED plus a series of specialist studies such as fire hazard analysis (FHA), quantitative risk assessment (QRA) and LNG tank volume assessment etc.
 
The project epitomizes the deepening cooperation between China and Myanmar. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties, China and Myanmar will further strengthen cooperation in energy and electricity to promote common development.
