Background
Initially, Total and Siemen's proposed a 615 MW project that did not move forward due to "stalled talks" with the Myanmar government over financial terms. In 2019, a "scaled-back" version of the project was proposed by the companies, but does not appear to have moved forward.[5] However, the 1230 MW plan is still listed as part of Total's projects, who note that they have completed EEI's and EIA's in accordance with Myanmar's environmental laws.[6]
Following the coup in 2021, TotalEnergies SE withdrew from Myanmar in 2022, allegedly leaving its shares to other partners.[7] There are no definitive updates on the project since 2019, hence the project is listed as shelved.
