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.
This was because of the flexibility in the natural gas power generation in Myanmar. Under the BAU scenario, oil-based power plants will cease operation by 2030. While both hydro and natural gas would maintain shares in the power sector mix in 2050, the share would change to 5.7% from hydro-based power plants and to 28.9% from natural gas.
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.
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.
As shown in Table 12.2, the Power Resource Balance scenario (Scenario 3) has the lowest installed capacity at 23,594 MW by 2030, with hydro share at 38%, coal 33%, gas 20%, and renewables (solar, wind, etc.) at 8%. MW = megawatt. Source: Myanmar Energy Master Plan, 2015.
Besides these, wind, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are the potential energy sources found in Myanmar. Myanmar’s proven energy reserves in 2017 comprised of 94 million barrels of oil, 4.552 trillion cubic feet of gas, and over 500 million metric tons of coal.
Consequently, overseas energy storage projects, on the whole, exhibit more favorable economic prospects. Year-on-year growth in installed capacity Germany household …
