6. Myawaddy Special Business Zone
The construction of a special business zone in city of Myawaddy, situated in theThai-
Burma border region, will be created as soon as possible1.The industrial zone is
intended for the development of Karen state.The purpose of construction of the
Myawaddy special business .
Zone was to create more work opportunities for Karen state whilst simultaneously
decreasing the number of Karen migrant workers.The land betweenTin-Kan-Nyi-
Naung and Myawaddy had already been earmarked for construction of the business
zone.
Myawaddy BorderTrade Chamber of Commerce is an active trade association that has
a significant network of Myanmar traders. After construction of Asia circular road, the
Myawaddy industrial zone which will play in a significant role for economic
development is now forty percent complete in construction of basic infrastructure
according to the implementation of Myawaddy industrial zone.

10. Electric Power supply The most important component for the
Myawaddy development plan is securing a reliable and continuous
stable power supply. Below are the findings from the first mission trip
regarding power supply: ① EGAT:Ten (10) MW of power at 8 baht/kwh
are to be supplied fromThailand until 2016. The revision of the terms
and conditions, such as expansion of the power supply and extension of
the period that will be required depending on the power demand of
tenant companies and the projected type of industries.② An
Independent Power Producer (IPP) is constructing fully self- funded
Combined Cycle Power Plant to supply reliable power. According to the
construction plan (see figure 3-6), the following is the power supply
schedule. 43.5MW: January, 2014 ~ 98MW: November, 2014 ~
230MW: October, 2015 ③ Although there is no confirmation that
Myawaddy is included in the IPP power distribution subject area, it is
necessary to inquire about this subject to both Kayin State and the
central government so that the implementation of power transmission
can be secured by the national grid in this area. ④ Kawkareik power
station construction: 2016 completion The study team estimates that
the Myawaddy IZ can manage the power demand by adequately
combining those power supplies through monitoring the project
progress by improvising and improving upon the plan overtime. It
should be noted that in the case of Hpa-an IZ, the authorities have
already installed a substation 66kv/11kv and 20MVA capacity. Figure -

11. Zoning on Myawaddy IZThe zoning
on Hpa-an IZ is already determined
and some factories are in operation.
Some of the points of consideration
for zoning on Myawaddy IZ in light of
the nature of the above conditions
are: ①The planning area of
Myawaddy IZ, as currently
determined by the Kayin State
government, is total of 326.4ha; north
district, 131.2ha across from the
national road No. 85 and from the
south district 195.2ha. (The total
hectare area is based on the
calculation from the topography map,
as obtained by the project team); ②
The defined area is comprised of
Phase1 (141.6 acres) from the north
district and Phase2 (59.9 acres);
15. To promote the Myawaddy Industrial Zone, and become a Special
Economic Zone (SEZ) of international quality standard in the
future, anxiety about the deficiency of a stable power supply in
Myanmar must be resolved.
The investment in electric power generation sector is a matter of
urgency.
While there is very limited knowledge available of the
topographical, meteorological, and hydrological conditions in
Myawaddy district, a combined system of solar thermal power
generation with appropriately scaled hydro power generation is
worth studying and investigating.
Author personally prefer to invest garment Business in Yangon or
any other available electricity for production.
