It will be able to generate Electrical Power by using the water flow of Myitnge River, 10 miles from the south of Mandalay, flowing into the Ayeyarwady River. Yeywa Hydel Power Dam is 2264 feet long and 433 feet high and is a Roller compacted concrete dam type blocks the MyitNge River. To construct the dam, water was diverted by digging a tunnel on the right side of the mountain range. There are two diversion tunnels in this dam. No.1 diversion tunnels is 33 feet wide and 1443 feet long and No.2 diversion tunnel is 33 feet wide and 1674 feet long . On completion of the dam, one of the two diversion tunnels will be blocked. The plant will be able to generate a total of 790 megawatts, with the installed four generators, each with a capacity of producing 179.5 megawatts. The turbine, installed there is a Francis, vertical shaft type. Yeywa Hydel Power Project has been implemented in cooperation with Myanmar Engineers and Foreign Technocrafts since 2001. Those responsible for the project are constructing with might and main to complete the project as soon as possible, in accordance with the set-standard. On completion of the project, annual generated electricity will be 3, 551 million kilowatt hours. For the Yeywa Hydel Power dam project, a Pozolan Plant is being constructed in Popa region, Mandalay Division to use Natural Pozolan to mixing the cement for construction of RCC concrete. On completion of the Natural Pozolan plant, the finished products from the plant are aimed not only for Yeywa Hydel Power Project but also for other National Grid Projects. Natural Pozolan Plant has been built from the beginning of August, 2003. Raw materials for the plant are available from Nga Yat Kone and KyaukTaGa Villages in Popa region, KyaukPaTaung Township. This plant can produce 1,000 tons of Natural Pozolans. We will be sending Pozolans for construction of RCC concrete dam of Yeywa Hydel Power Project in Mandalay Division. Yeywa Hydel Power Plant is a project that will benefit, not only for this region but also for the whole country.«..."
