VDB Loi Connects Bidders with Available Land for Solar Tender in Myanmar

May 31, 2020

VDB Loi is trying to do its part in Myanmar’s efforts to stimulate the economy after the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Ministry of Electricity and Energy has launched a 1 Gig solar project tender, we have asked our relationships at state and regional governments, local clients and other contacts if they have any suitable land plots available.

We have received information about several dozen land plots throughout Myanmar in the townships indicated in the RFP of the tender of sizes that are sufficient for 30-50 MW solar projects. We expect more information to come in in the next few days.

If you are seeking for available land in the below townships, let us know and we will refer you to the local party offering the land.

We are doing this entirely free of charge, in the hope that parties may find each other and a project can be made possible. Please note that we have not carried out any verification or due diligence on the land in question.

In the below townships we have information about available land:

  • Pakkou Town, Magway Region
    • 90-160 acres of farmland, 10 km from the substation
  • Pauk Township, Magway Region
    • 150 acres of private farmland approximately 4.8 km from the substation
  • Kyaukse Town, Mandalay Region
    • 150 acres of state owned VFV land approximately 14.5 km from the substation

    • Up to 1000 acres of land available
