Myanmar is developing its electricity infrastructure to overcome power shortages due to the country's rapid economic growth. As of this effort, the country is urgently refurbishing and upgrading its aging substations as a high-priority measure.

Mitsubishi Electric's gas-insulated switchgears can be installed in space-restricted areas of existing substations and its special divided three-phase transformers can be packed in separate compact modules for easier shipping to locations where transportation infrastructure is underdeveloped.
