Myanmar Energy Storage Power Supply Specifications

What is the energy demand supply situation in Myanmar?

The Myanmar energy demand supply situation indicates that power generation mix must shift to more coal and hydropower, continued use of biomass, natural gas consumption, and appropriate increase of renewable energy such as solar PV and wind power generation.

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.

What is Myanmar's energy policy?

Myanmar’s energy policy aims to increase the use of its abundant water resources for hydropower development to reduce the need for fossil fuel power generation. Energy eficiency management can reduce energy consumption to minimise harmful environmental impacts.

How is transport energy consumed in Myanmar?

In Myanmar, transport energy consumption is projected based on the energy requirements of major sectors (industry, transport, agriculture, and households). The choice of fuel type is determined by available supply, since energy demands must be met mainly by domestic sources.

How much electricity does Myanmar produce a year?

In 2019, Myanmar had 6034 megawatts (MW) of installed generation capacity and produced almost 23.19 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. During the same year, thermal (coal, natural gas, and oil) and hydro, accounted for 57% and 43%. of total electricity generation, respectively. GWh = gigawatt-hour; MW = megawatt.
