Where Will the Myanmar Energy Storage Power Station Be Built
Myanmar''s energy sector is undergoing a transformative shift. With rising demand for renewable integration and grid stability, the construction of the Myanmar energy storage power station
Myanmar's energy sector is managed by the Ministry of Electric Power (MOEP) and the Ministry of Energy (MOE), which together account for over one-third of public sector revenue. Before May 2022, the two ministries operated under one single Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE).
Myanmar's power sector has been severely afected by the ongoing political turmoil. The power sector has been spiralling downward since 2021 with prolonged electricity blackouts throughout the country. Electricity generation has been declining, resulting in a widening power supply–demand gap.
Myanmar's energy consumption per capita is one of the lowest in Southeast Asia due to the low electrification rate and a widespread poverty. An estimated 65% of the population is not connected to the national grid. The electrification rate in Myanmar is one of the lowest in Asia, at 50% in 2019.
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.
