 POLICY &
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK

7
 Policy and Institutional Framework

National Priorities

total energy saving covers sustainable socio-economic

development and effective use of energy, which is in line
with energy efficiency and conservation.
 Policy and Institutional Framework

 To control Fuel Wood Consumption.

 To generate the electric power in efficient and to minimize

the distribution losses.

 To strengthen the International cooperation in energy

efficiency and conservation.

 To reduce growth in Energy consumption and aim to

diversify energy availability by applied the Energy Efficient
Technologies.
 Policy and Institutional Framework

 To achieve the energy consumption saving amount 5% in

2020 and 8% in 2030 against the existing BAU case
respectively.

 To Improve energy efficiency 10% against BAU and

reduce related emissions of greenhouse gases by 2020 in
Industrial sector.

 To enhance Fuel substitution with Biofuel (E 85, Biodiesel)

at least 8% by 2020 based on 2005 level in Transport
sector.

 To achieve a collective target of 15~20% for renewable

energy in the total power installed capacity by 2020.
 Energy Policy

 To maintain the status of energy independence

 To promote wider use of new and renewable sources of

energy

 To promote energy efficiency and conservation

 To promote use of alternative fuels in household

Best Practices

14
 Forest Management

• The forest cover of the country in

2006 is found to be 33,011
thousand hectares representing
48.79% of the country’s area.
• A total of 838,642 ha of various
forest plantations have been
established between 1981 and
2009 by Forest Department.
• Among them, 22 % is for fuel-
wood.
 Greening activities since 1954

• Agricultural & Rural Development

Corporation (1954) tree planting
started
• 1974 Rehabilitation in dry zone
area was revitalized 10 Years plan
• 1994 (13 dry districts) began
• 1997 Dry Zone Greening
Department was Formed.
• 4 main tasks of tree planting,
conserving natural forests, wood
fuel substitution & water
harvesting are done 1994.

KOICA, JICA are also participating in the greening activities

Dry Zone Greening Activities
 Achievements (1997 to 2010)

 A total of 127,420 ha has been afforested.

 It includes fuel wood plantation of 61,142 ha
 Watershed plantation of 40,404 ha.
 Re-Greening hills of 94,58 ha and Others 16,514 ha
 Natural forest conservation in 677,835 ha
 Wood fuel substitution through efficient stove distribution
(450,916 units), wide use of briquette (86.5 million no.) and of
agricultural residues (246,765 no.) are in practice.
 CNG / NGV Status IN MYANMAR

 As at April 2011 :

- 46 CNG Refueling Stations in Myanmar-

- 41 in Yangon City

- 2 in Mandalay City

- 2 in Yenangyaung Field

- 1 in Chauk Field

- 27,472 NGVs (Converted from both petrol / diesel cars)

 Way Forward : CNG Refueling Stations will be installed along the existing
domestic pipeline corridor.
 Electricity Generation in Myanmar

2.2%
4.7% Diesel
20.3% Coal
Hydro
Gas
64.7%

As shown in this slide, the bulk of electricity being generated in Myanmar is

through HYDRO power at 64.7%, followed by natural gas at 20.3%.
Electricity generation by using coal and diesel is too minimal 4.7 and 2.2%
respectively.
 EE&C Lighting System at Public and Private Sector

LED(Light Emitting Diode) 13 Million have produced and distributed

during the period from February, 2009 to June, 2010.
The Model Project for Solar Lighting Post at Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw-
Mandalay High-way Road.

(a)Yangon-Nay Pyi Taw High-way Road.

Total Capacity = 16 Kw (Solar Lighting Post (1) Unit=32 watt)

(b) Nay Pyi Taw - Mandalay High-way Road.

Total Capacity = 32 Kw

Advantages
- It is benefit to reduce the cost than normal lighting post.
- Indirectly reduce to produce GHG
• .
- To reduce CO2 Emission 26 ton/yr.
 EE&C Lighting System at Public and Private Sector
