Temporary power outage in Htaukkyant and Mingaladon on 16 June due to power cable works

ACCORDING to a statement released by the Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC), there will be a temporary power outage in certain areas of Htaukkyant and Mingaladon Township between 10 am and 3 pm on 16 June 2025.

The outage is due to ongoing work involving the installation of ACSR (Aluminium Conductor Steel Reinforced) cables on the 230kV East Dagon–Hlawga power line. Specifically, cables are being strung between towers No 85 and 87, including rough sagging and final sagging procedures.

As this work involves crossing over the 33kV Hlawga–Pale (1 and 2) power lines, which do not have adequate clearance, those lines will need to be shut down during the process. As a result, electricity supply will be temporarily interrupted from 10 am to 3 pm on 16 June 2025 in affected zones.

During the works, some neighbourhoods and parts of the industrial zones in Htaukkyant and Mingaladon Township will experience inter­mittent and temporary power outages. YESC has stated that all necessary measures will be taken to minimize both the duration and coverage area of the outages.

It is also noted that on 12 June, similar cable-laying work on the same 230kV East Da­gon–Hlawga power line had caused temporary power disruptions in parts of Htaukkyant and Mingaladon. — Htun Htun/KNN
