Residents of Leiktho Township in hpa-an District, Kayin State, will soon get access to electricity after the installation of 33/11 KV 5MVA power sub-station, a project engineer said.

The electricity Distribution Department has put more effort into building the power sub-station with funds of the Kayin State government.

“We will distribute power not only to Leiktho Township but also to areas located within a two-mile radius of the township.We plan to supply electricity to nearby villages through solar systems this year,” said Township electric engineer U Chit Ko Ko.

Since 1969, residents of the township have received low-voltage electricity through a 100KVA generator.
With funds from the regional government, the township electricity department recently replaced wooden lamp posts with the concrete ones across the township.
