About the company
Scatec
Scatec, formerly SN Power, invests in renewable energy in developing countries.
Scatec is working on the Middle Yeywa Hydropower Project, located in Shan State. The dam is opposed by local residents and will result in displacement and environmental damage.
Nang San San Aye, a Shan State MP, has stated: “We urge foreign countries to stop promoting and investing in dams in Burma’s war zones. It is fuelling conflict, and undermining efforts to seek peace.”
