Scope In accordance to the Loan Covenants concerned to the Loan Agreement (3084-MYA),
schedule 5, paragraph 26, the present report is prepared to submit a revision of the
execution status of the different covenants for the period between July to December
2018.
Introduction and Project Characteristics 1.1 Background
Myanmar's power sector has operated satisfactorily for many decades. However, due to
lack normal rehabilitation work in the recent years, the network now suffers from
overloading, poor reliability and extremely high losses. The Ministry of Electricity and
Energy – MOEE (formerly the Ministry of Electric Power - MOEP) has entered into a
Loan Agreement with ADB for the development of a project aiming to the provision of
Distribution Goods and Services. This project aims for the rehabilitation of existing run-
down power distribution networks in the following four (4) areas:
1. Various townships in Yangon Region
2. Four districts in Mandalay Region, namely: Kyaukse, Meikhtila, Myingyan, and
Yameethin;
3. Five districts in Sagaing Region, namely: Kalay, Katha, Monywa, Sagaing,
and Shwebo; and
4. Two townships in Magway Region, namely:Aunglan and Magway.
The scope of rehabilitation works within the project includes, among others, the
following:
1. Upgrading existing 66/11 kilovolt (kV) and 33/11 kV substations;
2. Replacing existing 33 kV and 11 kV distribution lines;
3. Replacing existing 11/0.4 kV transformers;
4. Replacing existing bare low voltage distribution lines with more efficient aerial
bundled conductor (ABC) distribution; and
1.2 Objectives of the Project
1.2.1 Impact and Outcome
The impact will be reduced power distribution loss and improved energy efficiency. The
outcome will be improved infrastructure to provide reliable and sustainable electricity to
5 | P a g e
the selected townships and districts.
1.2.2 Outputs
The project outputs will be (i) rehabilitated distribution network in various townships in
Yangon Region, (ii) rehabilitated distribution network in four districts in Mandalay
Region, (iii) rehabilitated distribution network in five districts in Sagaing Region, and
(iv) rehabilitated distribution network in two townships in Magway Region. For each
project region, support to capacity building will be provided to enhance staff capability
in Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE), Electricity Supply Enterprise (ESE), and
Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) on rehabilitation and operation of
power distribution system, procurement, and financial management during
implementation. The rehabilitation works include (i) upgrading existing 66/11 kV and
33/11 kV substations, (ii) replacing existing 33 kV and 11 kV distribution lines, (iii)
replacing existing 11/0.4 kV transformers, (iv) replacing existing bare low voltage
distribution lines with more efficient aerial-bundled conductor distribution lines.
1.3 Environmental, Involuntary Resettlement and Indigenous People Categorization
The project has been in the following four safeguard categories as follows:
1.3.1 Environmental
Project is classified as Category B for environment. Expected environmental
impacts are site-specific, few if any of them are irreversible, and in most cases
mitigation measures can be designed.
1.3.2 Involuntary Resettlement
For Involuntary Resettlement project is classified as Category C. Meaning it has no
involuntary resettlement impacts and no further action is requested.
1.3.3 Indigenous People
For Indigenous People project is classified as Category C. Meaning no impact
is expected on indigenous people and consequently no further action is
requested.
1.4 Project Working Areas
During the period, rehabilitation works were performed in the different townships and
districts of the four areas above defined.
6 | P a g e
In the following paragraphs, YESC offers a brief of the different works performed and in
progress during the second half of 2018.
1.4.1 Yangon Area
This area includes rehabilitation works in forty-five (45) townships. Performed
works in this period involved distribution network rehabilitation: installation of
11-6.6/0.4 kV distribution transformers, replacement of 33 kV and 11 kV
distribution lines and line extension, replacement of existing bare low voltage
distribution lines with aerial bundled conductor, and rehabilitation works in
sixteen (16) substations.
During this 6 months period, works in progress are concerning to the
rehabilitation of four (4) substations with associated incoming 66kV
underground Power Cable Lines, replacement of 33kV and 11kV distribution
lines and line extension, replacement of existing bare low voltage distribution
lines with aerial bundled conductor. The rest of works are concluded in earlier
time.
Specific jobs in progress at date are:

Update Safeguard Covenant Status
Project Safeguards are defined in the Project Administration Manual (PAM) and in
the Initial Environmental Examination (IEE) report that form part of the Loan
Agreement.
Annexures 1 reflects these covenants status for each one of the townships affected
by the project. The following paragraphs present short analysis of them.
2.1 Yangon Area - YESC
This area has not archeologist interest site to be affected by the works
components in progress on it.
Updated status of the different covenants is presented in the Annexure 1 and the
key points are highlighted in the following paragraphs.
a) Disclosure was done to Yangon Regional Government and other relevant
authorities in the Area. Moreover, List of execution works are usually
submitted to Parliament and announce to public in the newspaper or through
YESC call center page from social network page.
b) Mini oil pits with oil separators were constructed by YESC in the scheduled
rehabilitated substations named Hluttaw Substation, Kokkine Substation, Thu
Ye Kaung Substation since the previous period. These Rehabilitation works in
these (3) substations are scheduled in 2018 associated with procurement
package 6.
c) Decommissioned materials, consisting only of line material are stored in
different storehouse located in the townships where they were initially
installed. Upon completion of work, these decommissioned materials are all
transported to YESC main store in Ahlone Township and maintained properly.
The distribution transformers provided through ADB loan are being used to
increase the distribution capacity of the networks and to improve the quality
service. Most of the old transformers were reinstalled in another sectors of the
grid in each township. There is only one distribution transformer found to be
declared as non-recyclable item. Regarding these equipment, they also
13 | P a g e
confirm all their transformers are PCB free. Currently this non-recyclable
transformer has stored in YESC’s maintenance compound.
d) All site works are cleaned once the works are finished, therefore not affections
to vegetation is produced.
e) Impact in traffic is minimized and controlled according to the rules of the city
and with the conformity of the authorities. Signals & safety nets are properly
placed to orientate pedestrians and drivers during the periods in which
restrictions are applied.
f) There is little effort or no effort on providing silt traps on the stockpiles of
materials to control flow of sediments during rainfall events. However, no
pollution or flow of sediments was observed during site inspection. There is
no excavation work in this project near by the lake nor river.
g) Occupational, Community Health and Safety are one of the areas that requires
to continuously maintained and improved. Provision of PPE has been
completed. Nevertheless, up to date there is not any accident report.
h) Vegetation control works (tree trimmings) are announced through the
newspapers, radio broadcast, and social networks (FB) involving or not power
cuts.
i) YESC confirm they don’t use pesticides to control the vegetation grown.
In conclusion, YESC has significantly improved in this area mainly with the safety
and environmental concern. YESC has not yet reported about any grievance
from any stakeholder. Although project specific Grievance Redress Mechanism
has not been established yet, YESC have existing protocols for handling and
addressing public complaints.

3. Material Types and Disposal
3.1 Material Types
Materials to be decommissioned from distribution networks are following types:
• Distribution Transformers
• Substation Equipment
• Conductors
3.2 Material Disposal
The usual practice in Myanmar for decommissioned material offers three alternatives
for disposal:
• Reutilization, when is possible.
• Auction: sell to third parties as scrap.
• Abandon.
Only the first two options are considered for the decommissioned material in this
project.
4. Material Recovery Plan
At 31-12-2018, the status of the material recovery plan is indicated in the following paragraphs.
4.1 Distribution Transformers
The replacement work of existing distribution transformer 11-6.6/0.4kV was completed
since FY 2016-2017. Most of the new distribution transformers were installed in
Yangon Region but did not substitute any of the existing ones and these new
distribution transformers were used to increase the distribution capacity in other sector
of the area except one existing transformer being substitute with new one. This only
one replaced transformer is kept in the storage area of maintenance department and
awaiting to be auctioned. All installed new units have been commissioned and
energized. The detail figure of installed transformer versus the old replaced units can
be found in the Annexure 1.
4.2 Conductors
In Yangon Region, the replacement of distribution lines have been still on going until
the month of December. The decommissioned conductors are mainly kept central
storage area of YESC. Some of them are reutilized in rural areas and other remote
47
areas of the region (low demand areas). Up to now, YESC still have enough provision
to keep those decommissioned bare conductors and schedule for auction before the
storage area is full. The summary of decommissioned conductors mainly associated
with overhead line works as of 31 December 2018 can be found in the Annexure 1. No
decommissioned cables associated with underground cable line works are these are
new installation lines mainly associated with rehabilitated substations.
4.3 Substation Equipment
There is no major decommissioned substation equipment in the region as most of the
rehabilitation substation works in Yangon Region are extension bays to the existing
ones due to increased distribution capacity. Parts of the decommissioned materials
are reutilized in other remote areas of the region. Detailed list of decommissioned
substation equipment against rehabilitated substations can be referred in the Annexure
1.
5. Conclusion
In summary, dismantled distribution transformers is not an issue in the region. Most of
the decommissioned transformers have been installed in other sectors of the grid. Line
materials are stored in YESC’s central storage area waiting for schedule of auction to
exchange with new conductor in equivalent value as well as reutilize if possible. YESC
will schedule the next upcoming auction before the storage area is full.
