Way forward and Opportunities

2
 National Energy Policy
To explore and exploit all energy resources available in Myanmar
To reform the organizational set-up of energy related State entities in accordance with the
States economic reform policy
To compile systematic statistics on domestic demand and supply of various different kinds
of energy resources of Myanmar
To implement rural energy supply programmes in order to narrow the gap between urban
and rural energy consumption
To implement measures for sustainable energy development
To promote Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation
Establish Research & Development institutions in order to keep abreast with international
practices in energy resources exploration and development works and to produce
international quality products
To promote international collaboration in energy matters
To formulate appropriate policy for energy product pricing meeting the economic security
of energy producer , energy supplier and energy consumer and also to reduce the subsidy
in pricing of energy products
3
 Policy Implementation
We Implemented the National Energy Policy, Electricity Sector
Policy, Oil and Gas Sector Policy, Myanmar Energy Master Plan,
National Electricity Master Plan, National Electrification Plan
These policies & plans were formulated by the different
international organizations such as World Bank, JICA, ADB
The calculated different Scenarios and outcomes are different

We need to be reviewed and revised to be in line with the current

situation, National Development Plan and Government Policy.

 Strategic ways for Power Sector

Three strategic ways for Power Generation, Transmission and Distribution;

National Budget

International Loans

Cooperating with Local and foreign companies

- Under JVA projects - 7 (Hydro-6 ,GT-1)

- Under MOA projects - 28 (Hydro -12, Wind -1, Solar-2, GT-8, Coal-5)

- Under MOU projects - 46 (Hydro -26, Wind - 4, Solar-3, GT- 6, Coal -7)

Total projects - 81

 Way Forward for Electric Power Sector

To expand and construct more generation plants

o At present, only about 3.7 millions (34%) of households can use the grid connect

electricity and Electricity demand increases around 15% (about 300 MW ) yearly.

Public Awareness of Power Resource

o Since country is enriched with hydropower resources, sustainable hydropower
development will be long term solution for cheaper and greener energy.

To expense Thermal Plant

o Gas-fired and coal-fired can be expensive and quick win solution unless no other
options.

11
 Way Forward for Electric Power

To upgrade our transmission network

o On the other hand, our transmission network is outdated and weakened to receive
dynamic load from very renewable power solutions like solar, wind power, etc. So,
transmission network should be strengthened and modernized in long term to
diversify the generation mix and for the best use of natural resources possession.

To assist financing for Power Project

o Consequently, grid strengthening plan shall be prepared and guaranteed financing
shall be sought for.

To review the Policy Framework for investment attraction

o the If necessary, reviewing of Electricity Law shall be conducted to materialize the
best interest of the People and the Country.

 Opportunities in Petroleum Sector
1. Unconventional prospects: Onshore area
2. Supply based for Onshore and Offshore E&P
3. To Integrate Infrastructure: Pipeline, Plants and Refineries
4. JV process for onshore drilling and seismic, pipe-laying, refinery, LPG and
associated area
5. JV process for LNG Business (Current situation NG shortage, electricity
demand increases, forecast for offshore production decline, development of new
blocks - 8 to 10 years)
6. Natural gas basis industries are key role in future. (mainly depends on newly
discoveries in onshore and offshore area)
7. Research and Development, e.g. Laboratory, Process etc.
8. Trading, Marketing and Distribution of Petroleum Products

Tendering process will be basically planed for future program in Petroleum

development.
JV programs will be recognized for local and foreign companies accoording to
the MIC rule and regulation.

 Conclusion

Lastly, welcoming the delegates from American Chamber of Commerce

At present, although US firms are boosting up to participate in Myanmar

Business Sectors; one of our long term partner, Chevron, is now seeking the

expressions of interest for possible sale of shareholdings which are invested in

Myanmar Oil and Gas Sector.

We would like to clarify that what is the Strategy of American

Business Firms, and what is the future collaboration & investment
interest in Myanmar?
