6 FAQs about [Myanmar grid systems]

What is the Myanmar power system efficiency and Resilience Project?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Could Myanmar-China high voltage grid connection be scaled down?

The Myanmar-China high voltage grid connection could also be scaled down, or complemented by other connections to Laos PDR, India, or Thailand. Finally, the outcome would depend on changes made to the export share of dams, from the existing ones (Shweli-1, Dapein-1, Chipwi Nge) to planned ones like Hatgyi.
