On July 8th, the completion ceremony for the Myanmar KUN Hydropower Plant was held at the project site, indicating that the EPC contract for the KUN Hydropower Plant Equipment and Metal Structure Project was completely delivered.

All three units of the power plant were operating at full load and all equipment was under good operational conditions. Ever since the three units of KUN hydropower plant commenced operations, the plant has sustained an output of over 50MW, making it one of the two power plants with the most stable on-load operation performance among all operating power plants in Myanmar. The plant plays a significant role in satisfying Myanmar’s power needs and is another accomplishment for CHMC in the development of Myanmar’s hydropower market.
