About: Myitsone Dam

An Entity of Type: infrastructure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Myitsone Dam (Burmese: မြစ်ဆုံ တာတမံ [mjɪʔsʰòʊɰ̃ tàtəmàɰ̃]; lit. 'Confluence Dam') is a large dam and hydroelectric power development project which was planned to be built in northern Myanmar (also known as Burma). The proposed construction site is at the confluence of the Mali and N’mai rivers and the source of the Irawaddy River (Ayeyawady River). As of 2017 the project is suspended, but China has been lobbying to revive the dam.

  • Die Myitsone-Talsperre (birmanisch မြစ်ဆုံ တာတမံ; wörtlich übersetzt: Zusammenfluss-Talsperre) ist eine geplante Talsperre mit einem Wasserkraftwerk am Irrawaddy in Burma (Myanmar). Der Staudammbau wurde zwischen dem Staatsrat für Frieden und Entwicklung und der vereinbart. 2007 begann die Einrichtung der Baustelle, Ende 2009 begannen die eigentlichen Bauarbeiten.

  • The Myitsone Dam (Burmese: မြစ်ဆုံ တာတမံ [mjɪʔsʰòʊɰ̃ tàtəmàɰ̃]; lit. 'Confluence Dam') is a large dam and hydroelectric power development project which was planned to be built in northern Myanmar (also known as Burma). The proposed construction site is at the confluence of the Mali and N’mai rivers and the source of the Irawaddy River (Ayeyawady River). As of 2017 the project is suspended, but China has been lobbying to revive the dam. Had the dam been completed according to plans in 2017 it would have been the fifteenth largest hydroelectric power station in the world. The dam, planned to be 1,310 metres (4,300 ft) long and 139.6 metres (458 ft) high, was to be built by the Upstream Ayeyawady Confluence Basin Hydropower Company. The company is a joint venture between the China Power Investment Corporation (CPI), the Burmese Government's Ministry of Electric Power, and the Asia World Company. The dam was planned to have a generation capacity of 6,000 megawatts and to produce electricity primarily for export to Yunnan, China. CPI contended that China would not be the electricity's primary market and stated that Myanmar would have first claim on the electricity generated, with the remainder sold for export. Opponents remained skeptical because most Burmese are not connected to the electrical grid, and doubted whether the dam would improve their livelihood. The dam project has been controversial in Burma due to its enormous flooded area, environmental impacts, location 60 miles from the Sagaing fault line, and uneven share of electricity output between the two countries. The Burmese public regard the Irrawaddy River as the birthplace of Burmese civilization. Although access to the Chinese market guarantees the dam's electricity sales, for many Burmese the Myitsone Dam represents growing Chinese influence in Burma which they perceive as "exploitative" to the country hitherto isolated by Western economic sanctions. Even government officials have differing opinions on the project. On 30 September 2011, amid democratic reforms in the country, President Thein Sein announced that the Myitsone Dam project was to be suspended during his tenure. Because the government appears to have taken public opinion into account, the unexpected decision is seen as a reversal of the authoritarian rule since the coup in 1962. (en)
  • Le barrage de Myitsone (birman မြစ်ဆုံ တာတမံ, mjɪʔsʰòuɴ tàtəmàɴ ; lit. barrage de la confluence) est un projet de barrage hydroélectrique sur l'Irrawaddy, dans le nord de la Birmanie. Actuellement suspendu, le projet prévoyait de terminer en 2017 un des vingt plus grands barrages hydroélectriques du monde. Haut de 152 m, il est construit par le gouvernement birman et la compagnie China Power Investment Corporation. On estime qu'il produira entre 3 600 et 6 000 mégawatts d'électricité pour le Yunnan.
