The Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) announced that it adopted a power rotation system in the entire nation as the power is generated with an equal amount of dam water.

In the statement, it said as the monsoon period is over and the power generation capacity of hydro-power plants decreases; some natural gas power plants are maintained, and the dam water is used in a safe method to supply power in summer and so there is not enough power and so the electricity supply rotation system is applied again across the nation.

Townships in Yangon Region are divided into groups and power is supplied between 9 am and 5 pm daily. The industrial zones are prioritized in the daytime. The allocated power between 5 pm and 9 am (the next day) will be distributed to the people equally as much as they can, the YESC said.

The YESC also said they arrange to provide power for 24 hours to hospitals, universities, pagodas and important departments. They also apologized to the public for facing difficulties in their daily life as they carry out load shed to prevent system breakdown while the national power system is unstable due to the failures of power grids and generators.

Ahlone YESC shared in their social media page that 16 townships are set as (A) group as a priority list. These townships are Yankin, Tamwe, Thingangyun, South Okkalapa, Kyauktada, Pabadan, Latha, Lanmadaw, Dagon, Ahlone, Kyimyintdine, Sangyaung, Mayankone, Hlaing, Kamaryut and Bahan.
