BRINGING POWER TO THE PEOPLE OF MYANMAR
With one of the lowest electrification rates in the world, about
75% of people living in Myanmar in 2012 did not have access to
electricity. To help meet the increasing need for power, the Ministry
of Electric Power invested in plant upgrades at four sites.
SOLUTION
Thirteen Cat CG260 gas generator sets were installed at the
Ywama/Yangon facility, producing 50 MWe of power for
the surrounding region and the national power grid.

A FULL RANGE OF ENGINES FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS
Whether your energy demand is big or small, we have a range of power generation equipment
that can deliver the power you need with a variety of fuel options.
Biogas-fueled generator sets utilize methane gas produced
by the breakdown of food waste, animal waste or landfills.
Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fuels, helping you
meet strict emission and environmental regulations.
PROPANE
Propane is a fuel alternative that can be stored onsite.
It burns hotter requiring special engine selection and tuning.
