Is universal access by 2030
achievable in Myanmar?

Government of Myanmar is Strongly Committed to Achieving
Universal Access to Electricity
• Goal to achieve > 50% coverage in 2016 - The Government is
developing an implementation plan to increase electricity
coverage in 2016.
• The President’s office has established a dedicated National
Electrification Executive Committee under the patronage of
the Vice President, and with union ministers of MOEP and
MLFRD as chair and co-chair respectively.
• Renewable Energy for Rural Electrification - A Rural
Electrification and Potable Water Resource Committee was
established where one of the mandates is to promote
renewable energy for rural electrification.

Government Commitment to Universal Access Aligns with UN
Sustainable Energy for ALL (SE4ALL) Objectives
•
Myanmar and SE4LL - Myanmar endorsed the UN
SE4ALL Initiative, a goal to ensure universal access to
modern energy services by 2030, co-led by the UN
Secretary General and the President of the World Bank.
•
Myanmar an high impact country - Myanmar is
identified as one of the high impact countries that offer
the most potential to make rapid progress by SE4ALL.
•
Myanmar is one of the first countries, and currently the
only country in the East Asia and Pacific Region, to
receive significant grant support (approximately $2
million) from the World Bank/ESMAP SE4ALL Technical
Assistance Program.

But Myanmar’s electrification challenge is immense…
The electrification rate is estimated at
33%...

New household connections per year
Need to connect over
as many households per year
to reach universal electrification by 2030…

It is impossible to meet this challenge without a
programmatic, sector-wide approach…
Countries that have achieved rapid electrification have relied
on Programmatic, Sector-wide approach

Myanmar National Electrification Plan (NEP) 2015-30
• NEP should be a comprehensive action plan for developing,
financing, and implementing electricity access scale-up
program nationwide, with the target of achieving universal
access by 2030.
• NEP would align support from different stakeholders with
the implementation program for achieving national access
targets and syndicates financing on a timely, ongoing and
programmatic basis.
