Indigo Energy developed, designed, engineered, and constructed a turn-key 80.4kWp solar system for a private hospital in Southern Myanmar, Dawei that was finished in October 2018.

Mediland Hospital is a 100-bedded private hospital which is located in Dawei Township, Tanintharyi region and held the opening ceremony in August 2015. Even though there was a Government plan to develop the international deep seaport, Dawei township did not have a proper hospital yet until our client opened its hospital. Mediland hospital is well-known and regarded as a reliable hospital by the people in that area. Our client’s vision is to become the best secondary care hospital in the region over a 10-year period. 

Dawei does not have a connection to the national grid and uses power from private companies which generate electricity with diesel generators and gas turbines.  Our client ran its hospital with that private grid and had to pay ~ 15USc/kWh before they installed the solar system. The monthly bill was equivalent to 10% of its total expense and our client was always eager to reduce this expense. Obviously, the environmental impact of running such a diesel grid is more harmful to the environment than the national grid which is mainly hydro and natural gas-based. 

Indigo Energy installed the solar system in Q4 2018 and our client was the first one to run its hospital with renewable energy in that area. Our client consumes less energy from the private grid and could save ~40% of its monthly electricity expenses.  By reducing the amount of energy use from the dirty diesel grid, our client is also significantly improving the environmental conditions in its community.
