-- First power generation agreement signed by a US-based company

APR Energy plc (LSE: APR), a global leader in fast-track power
solutions, today announces the signing of a large-scale, turnkey
power contract in Myanmar. The facility will provide the Myanmar
Electric Power Enterprise (MEPE) with a guaranteed minimum of 82MW
of power generation. Based in Kyaukse, in the Mandalay Region, and
fuelled by natural gas, the APR Energy solution will be one of the
largest thermal plants in the country and will provide power to
more than six million people.
The APR Energy turnkey plant, featuring mobile gas power modules
(GPMs), will be one of the cleanest power generation solutions in
Myanmar and will represent a significant investment in the
infrastructure of the country. APR Energy will provide a bridging
solution for the medium term while the country develops its
long-term power generation infrastructure. APR Energy won the
contract due to its ability to deliver to a very challenging
timeframe, as well as for the efficiency of APR's power generation
technology. The contract is due to commence in Q2 2014 and is
expected to run through to late 2015.
Commenting on the announcement, John Campion, APR Energy's Chief
Executive Officer said:
"We are delighted to have won this contract, based on our
ability to optimise the use of natural gas resources in a fast,
efficient, and effective manner. Today, three-quarters of Myanmar's
population is without access to electricity. This contract will
create one of the biggest thermal plants in the country, enabling
the provision of light and power to more than six million people.
Together with our recent installation of 130MW of new power
generation in Indonesia, the Myanmar project is a great example of
the real traction we are seeing in the Asia Pacific region since
opening our Malaysia hub and Singapore commercial office."
Clive Turton, APR Energy's Head of Business Development -
Asia-Pacific, said:
"This landmark agreement will help Myanmar to meet its critical
and growing need for electricity, using the country's indigenous
natural gas resources. Myanmar is a key strategic market for APR
Energy as we rapidly expand our Asia-Pacific business, and we are
committed to supporting the growth and development of the country's
power sector now and in the future. The growing demand for
electricity within Asia, coupled with our ability to rapidly
deliver large blocks of power with fast-track turnkey solutions,
gives us great opportunity to replicate this success not only in
Myanmar, but in other countries in the region."
