* The electricity from the generator, now in operation, surges through National Power Grid. Upon completion of measures for supplying electricity to Rakhine State, Kyeeohn Kyeewah Multipurpose Dam will become a major source of electricity for Rakhine State. * From two 37-Megawatt generators, 370 KWHs of electricity will be produced each year. The dam will also irrigate 96777 acres of farmlands, meaning it is not only a boost for agricultural development but a source of electricity. |
