Dr. Tun Naing who is also the chairman of Dawei SEZ Management Committee said that his Electricity and Energy Ministry was working to build a national power grid transmission line with a Asia Development Bank (ADB) loan in Tanintharyi Region which is the sole region of the country which has not yet been connected with national power grid. “We have a Dawei SEZ electrification plan from this Mawlamyine-Yay-Dawei national power grid line after building this transmission line,” he added.
