Myanmar is moving to exploit solar and wind energy, but experts said such attempts must be stepped up to smoothen the country’s development. Soe Soe Ohn, director of the national electrification project at the Rural Development Department, said solar energy offered high potential particularly in rural electrification.
Besides these, wind, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are the potential energy sources found in Myanmar. Myanmar’s proven energy reserves in 2017 comprised of 94 million barrels of oil, 4.552 trillion cubic feet of gas, and over 500 million metric tons of coal.
Hydro and natural gas dominated electricity generation in Myanmar. Other fuels such as oil and coal also contributed to the country’s generation mix, but at less than 13% in 1990. The Government of Myanmar plans to increase the share of natural gas, coal, hydro, and other renewables in the total generation mix and decrease oil share.
In the power sector, Myanmar has 5,848 megawatts (MW) of installed generation capacity, and produced almost 22 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2018. In the same year, thermal power (coal, natural gas, and oil) accounted for 44% of total electricity generation and hydropower accounted for 56%. Table 12.1.
The current energy outlook model considers the mitigation actions and policies of Myanmar in the energy sector, as specified above. These include potential savings of 12% with respect to electricity and 20% in the transport sector by 2050. The following energy sector mitigation actions and policies are represented in the APS:
According to the National Energy Eficiency & Conservation Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Myanmar by the Asian Development Bank in 2015, Myanmar aims to achieve 20% energy savings in the electricity sector between 2020 and 2030. Specifically, the targets include a 12% reduction in 2020 and a 16% reduction by 2025.
