Sembcorp suspends operations at Myanmar Power Plant due to civil unrest

This follows the escalating civil unrest in the region.

Sembcorp Industries has announced the temporary suspension of operations at its 225MW gas-fired Sembcorp Myingyan Independent Power Plant in Mandalay, Myanmar.

The decision follows the escalating civil unrest in the region, including the township of Myingyan where the plant is located.

In a statement, Sembcorp said that the safety of its employees is its top priority.

The company has also notified the Electric Power Generation Enterprise, a division of Myanmar’s Ministry of Electricity and Energy, which has approved the plant’s shutdown.

Security measures are being implemented to protect the plant during this period. Sembcorp has also maintained insurance coverage for the plant, particularly for property damage.

“Sembcorp will look to resume operations at the Plant as soon as reasonably practicable once conditions are safe,” it said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
