Power Plant Locations in Myanmar with Operational Status as of 2025

Myanmar's approximate center point locations for over 100 power plants and larger electricity generation facilities. The dataset was produced by CDE Myanmar in 2025 based on satellite imagery, OpenStreetMap, and public reference data. It includes non-authoritative English names and a best-guess operational status for each facility.

Use Cases

• Mapping energy infrastructure distribution in Myanmar based on approximate geospatial coordinates.
• Assessing operational status of power facilities based on satellite imagery analysis.
• Estimating regional power generation capacity based on the included maximum capacity (MW) field.
• Cross-referencing facility locations with other public datasets using the assigned power facility codes.

Strengths

• Contains over 100 facility locations, providing a broad spatial overview.
• Includes a 'best-guess' operational status as of 2025, derived from satellite imagery analysis.
• Data creation methodology is explicitly documented, detailing the use of high-resolution imagery and multiple public sources.

Limitations

• Facility names are unofficial, non-authoritative, and Myanmar-language names are missing.
• Matching of locations with official reference sources is described as not always reliable, with potential mismatches.
• The dataset explicitly excludes many smaller generation facilities like mini-grid diesel generators and micro-hydro, indicating a coverage bias.
