MTSH completes 3.37 MW solar pilot project at Thilawa SEZ

MTSH Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holdings Public Co Ltd has announced the successful completion and official opening of a 3.37 MW Solar Energy Pi­lot Project, the company notified on 19 August.

The project was carried out by Thilawa Property Development Limited (TPD), a subsid­iary of MTSH, within the Residential & Commer­cial Area (R&C) of Thil­awa Special Economic Zone (Zone A). The pilot project was completed in early 2026 and officially inaugurated on 31 July.

The solar facility is expected to generate ap­proximately 4.73 million kilowatt-hours annually. Of the total output, 2.685 MW (79.67 per cent) will be supplied to industri­al users within the SEZ, while 0.688 MW (20.42 per cent) will be distributed through a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to hotels, tenants, and busi­nesses in the R&C area through an on-grid and hybrid operating model under long-term power purchase agreements.

The project is des­ignated for solar gener­ation, battery storage, and electricity distribu­tion within Thilawa Gar­den City’s R&C area. It is also intended to serve as a model for future solar energy deployment at the SEZ and surrounding in­dustrial facilities. — NN/ KK
