The Yangon City Electricity Corporation informed that two natural gas power plants in Myin Gyan Township, which are under attack by NUG-influenced PDFs, will be shut down due to the emergency shutdown, resulting in 4,920 megawatt-hours less power production and more power outages.

Due to the vandalism of PDFs, the V-Power Natural Gas Plant (Myin Gyan), which produces and transmits electricity in the national power system, was shut down on August 12 at around 11:20 am and the Sembcorp Natural Power Plant (Myin Gyan) had an emergency shutdown at 11:40 am, resulting in a reduction of 4,920 MWh of production and transmission from these generators to the power system.
