Does Myanmar have a power supply gap?Myanmar’s power sector will likely continue to experience significant challenges. To sustain the current level of power supply would require adding 300-500 MW every year until 2030. Scenario analysis on the power supply–demand gap illustrates that available generating capacity is projected to not meet the growing demand.
How can Myanmar improve its power system?Rebuilding Myanmar’s power system will require establishing trust to develop the power sector. Developing solar PV can add incremental generating capacity in a relatively fast manner.
Will increasing imports help ease the electricity supply shortages in Myanmar?While increasing imports could help to ease the electricity supply shortages in Myanmar, it remains challenging under the current circumstances. Improving power sector financial viability and recovering customer confidence are critical for private sector capital mobilization to enhance the quality of electricity services.
What's happening in Myanmar's electricity infrastructure?Source: Myanmar Institute for Peace and Security. The reported number of conflict-related incidents on electricity infrastructure has been declining following the peak in late 2021 and early 2022, but grid network capacity remains vulnerable.
Are diesel-based mini-grids a solution to Myanmar's power crisis?Diesel-based mini-grids represented a total of 101 MW of installed capacity in 2020. The 84 percent of the business firms, which were surveyed under the Myanmar Firm Monitoring Survey, reported the use of captive diesel generators as a means of responding to unstable power supply and blackouts.
Is Myanmar's power sector affected by political and macroeconomic instability?Myanmar’s power sector has been severely afected by political and macroeconomic instability since the February 2021 military takeover. Following the significant uncertainty and volatility that characterized much of 2022, economic conditions appear to have stabilized in the first half of 20
