What energy sources are available in Myanmar?
Myanmar is endowed with rich natural resources for producing commercial energy. Currently, the available energy sources in Myanmar are crude oil, natural gas, hydropower, biomass, and coal. Wind energy, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are other potential energy sources.
Who are the working group members of Myanmar energy statistics 2019?
The working group consists of experts from the Oil and Gas Planning Department, Ministry of Electricity and Energy; and ERIA. Working group members have been contributing their time and expertise to the project after successfully launching Myanmar Energy Statistics 2019.
Is Myanmar a natural gas producer?
Shell discovered the Apyauk gas field 50 kilometres northwest of Yangon in 1991. Myanmar is today primarily a natural gas producer. As of 2015, Myanmar exports gas to Thailand and China. Myanmar had proven gas reserves of 10 trillion cubic feet in 2012, with an annual production capacity of 416 BcF.
Will hydropower generation increase in Myanmar?
Hydropower generation will increase but at a slower average annual rate of 3.4% over the same period. Myanmar’s primary energy intensity (TPES/GDP) has been declining since 1990. In 2017, the primary energy intensity was 253.1 tonnes of oil equivalent per million dollars (toe/$ million), lower than 1990 when it was 1,333 toe/$ million.
What is the Myanmar Energy Outlook modeling project?
As officially requested by the OGPD, ERIA started the Myanmar Energy Outlook Modelling Project. Through three working meetings and with ERIA’s support, the OGPD successfully developed an energy outlook model, based on business as usual (BAU).
What is the energy saving potential of Myanmar?
According to the 2015 Asian Development Bank report ‘National Energy Eficiency and Conservation Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Myanmar’, electricity consumption in all sectors and achievable energy saving potential should reach 12% by 2020, 16% by 2025, and 20% by 2030.
Myanmar skg energy
Solar power in Myanmar has the potential to generate 51,973.8 TWh/year, with an average of over 5 sun hours per day. Even though most electricity is produced from hydropower in Myanmar, the country has rich technical solar power potential that is the highest in the ; however, in terms of installed capacity Myanmar lags largely behind Thailand and Vietnam.

What is Myanmar's Solar power potential?
Myanmar’s solar power potential is estimated to total around 35 gigawatts-peak (GWp). “So far, less than 1% has been installed so there is huge solar potential,” they highlighted. Very good solar potential exists in the central lowlands of Myanmar, where demand is the highest, they added.
Who owns a 20 MW solar plant in Myanmar?
Green Power Energy (GPE), a subsidiary of Myanmar’s Gold Energy, said in late December that it had started operating a 20 MW solar plant in Myit Thar, Myanmar. GPE built the project on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis, after winning a bid in Myanmar’s second tender for utility-scale PV projects.
How much electricity does Myanmar produce?
Myanmar is able to produce between 2.9 gigawatts (GW) and 3.1 GW of electricity, according to media sources. Recent estimates by the World Bank forecast energy consumption in Myanmar would grow at an average 11% rate out to 2030. The World Bank also forecast that peak electricity demand would rise to 8.6 GW by 2025 and 12.6 GW by 2030.
What is the energy saving potential of Myanmar?
According to the 2015 Asian Development Bank report ‘National Energy Eficiency and Conservation Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Myanmar’, electricity consumption in all sectors and achievable energy saving potential should reach 12% by 2020, 16% by 2025, and 20% by 2030.
Can solar power help a disadvantaged population in Myanmar?
“Moreover, solar can help ensure a just energy transition for citizens affected by energy poverty...Furthermore, 75–85% of Myanmar’s population of lives within a 25–50-kilometer radius of high voltage power lines, which makes for ideal locations to develop medium- and large-scale solar projects,” they noted.
Is solar energy gaining traction in Myanmar?
Solar energy is just beginning to gain some traction in Myanmar, a country that has been gradually opening up its economy and society to the world since 2011.
