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.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
