Kokang Army to Impose Annual Tax on Solar Power Users in Northern Shan State

The Kokang MNDAA in northern Shan State will impose an annual tax of 700 Chinese RMB per kilowatt on private solar power users, requiring registration and a lump-sum payment, while prohibiting grid connection. This adds financial pressure on residents who relied on solar during prolonged blackouts and faces legal penalties for non-payment.
