SESSION 6: Regulation.
Achieving universal energy access by 2030 poses a tremendous challenge to the Government Myanmar. As demonstrated by Vietnam, an accelerated pace of electrification is possible through a well-conceived policy and regulatory framework. Session 6 focuses on specific barriers companies in Myanmar face in expanding their impact to the energy poor. More importantly, this session discusses corresponding solutions to these challenges by drawing experience from international policy programs. Moderator U Taung Win, National Energy Management Committee Barriers to renewable energy development in Myanmar U Kyaw Min, Earth Energy Systems U Phyo Min Llian, Llian Brothers Co. Ltd. U Kyaw Thiha Soe, Comet Panelist: U Khant Zaw, Deputy Director General, Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development Ms. Kathrina Gassner, Senior Economist, International Finance Corporation
Majority of the rural electrification programs in Myanmar are donor-funded. This is necessary to build awareness about the benefits of electricity in rural areas and create a critical mass of demand. In the same way, these programs also provide a venue for technology providers to develop their expertise and strengthen the supply chain for equipment and parts for
decentralized energy systems. However, continued subsidy by the Government is unsustainable, and ultimately harmful. Session analyzes how the community organizations, infrastructure and equipment installed by the Governments programs can transition to commercial units.
