National Electrification Plan:
Phase 1- (2016 – 2030)
 Objective:
 Leading Ministries
 MOEP
 MLFRD

in Myanmar by 2030
Grid Extension
Off-grid
Least‐cost
recommendation
for 2030
• By 2030, the
majority are grid
connections
• This represents 7.2
million households
• Total cost is
estimated at US $5.8
billion (US$800 per
connection, average)

Component 2: Off-Grid Electrification (IDA $ 80Million)
 To target the communities unlikely to receive grid-based
access ever or within the next 10 years.
 Technology neutral approach; MFLRD (DRD) to lead needs
assessment at community level.
 Technology options include: solar photovoltaic (PV); minihydropower; wind; diesel; hybrid (e.g. diesel/solar).
 IDA finance will support:
1.
2.
3.
Solar photovoltaic devices or systems for a target of 465,500
households
Mini-grids to serve some 35,500 households
Electricity connections for 11,400 health clinics, schools and other
community buildings and 19,000 public street lights
Component 2: Off- grid
 Mini-grid: (IDA$ 7million)
 Micro-hydropower
 Other mini-grid technologies such as biomass, biogas, solar and wind.
 Up to 1MW in capacity are eligible
 Solar Home System: (IDA$ 53million)

SHS
- Under the National Electrification Plan’s National Geospatial, Least-Cost Electrification
Plan.; and
- Only households that did not receive SHS previously under DRD’s earlier SHS programs
are eligible.
- focuses on best available, price-competitive technologies from pico-photovoltaic
units and solar kits up to large solar home systems of 100 watts peak (Wp).

IMPLEMENTATION ARRANGEMENTS
Organization Structures
• National Electrification Executive Committee (NEEC)
• NEP( PMO)
 MOEP (PMO)
 MLFRD (PMO)
• ANNOUNCING THE PROGRAM TO TARGET VILLAGES
• In coordination with Union level (PMO) DRD office and
Local government
• The district or township level DRD office informs the
villagers at Local Township Development Committee
meeting.
• DRD is ready to initiate a local program to make available
SHS, mini-grids, or both SHS and mini-grids in the area.
• To inform the public of the process by which SHS and /or
mini-grid will be deployed, household contribution and
subsidy through media.
