Implementation of the National Electrification Plan
Myanmar National Electrification Project
The Myanmar National Electrification Project (MNEP) will support the expansion of electricity services in Myanmar through grid and off-grid solutions, and will work with all development partners and the private sector in these areas. The proposed project is expected to be the first in a series of WBG operations supporting public private sector investments aiming to help achieve universal access to electricity in Myanmar by 2030.
Public Consultations on Draft Safeguars Intruments (May 2015)
The World Bank is currently working with the Ministry of Electric Power (MOEP) and Department of Rural Development (DRD) of the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Rural Development in the preparation of the proposed Myanmar National Electrification Project. MOEP and DRD, with assistance from consultants and the World Bank, have prepared a DRAFT Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF) that will guide the application of the relevant World Bank safeguard policies to the project. A Poverty and Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) has been undertaken to inform the project and the ESMF.
DRD and MOEP are inviting interested stakeholders to public consultations concerning these draft safeguard instruments as follows: Thursday May 14 in Mandalay; Saturday May 16 in Taunggyi; and Monday May 18 in Yangon.
The draft documents are available in Myanmar and English languages (the Myanmar version of the full Preliminary PSIA to Inform the ESMF will be posted shortly):
- DRAFT Preliminary PSIA to Inform ESMF - Full Document - English Language - April 30 2015
- DRAFT Preliminary PSIA to inform ESMF - Executive Summary - Myanmar Language - April 30 2015

Report on Poverty and Social Impacts Analysis
Understanding the impact of tariffs and connection costs for the preparation of the National Electrification Plan, Myanmar (December 2014)
The World Bank has been undertaking a Poverty and Social Impact Assessment (PSIA) to inform dialogue with the Government of Myanmar on roll-out of the National Electrification Plan, and to support aspects of both the Myanmar Electric Power Project (MEPP) and National Electrification Project (NEP). Specifically, the PSIA serves to:
(i) inform institutional capacity building measures and technical assistance during implementation of both projects, in 2015 and beyond, including discussions on tariff setting under MEPP; and
(ii) inform the NEP design and Environment and Social Management Framework per World Bank safeguards policies.
The PSIA Phase I report was finalized in December 2014. This includes information on overall understanding of barriers to electricity access (in rural and urban areas and for poor and marginalized households in particular), uses of electricity, quality of service and affordability of new tariffs of April 2014. It also includes an overview of the self-reliant electrification (SRE) approach and roles and functions of the Electricity Committees at village level.

First Workshop
The Government of Myanmar and World Bank Group (WBG) held two technical workshops on November 4-5, 2014 in Nay Pyi Taw as part of ongoing support for national electrification. The first workshop (November 4) concerned private sector participation in grid and off-grid electrification. The second workshop (November 5) concerned poverty and social impact assessment (PSIA) and environmental and social safeguards. 71 participants (32 from MOEP and 24 from MLFRD) participated in each workshop, including representatives from all Myanmar states and regions.
Day 1, Nov 4, 2014
Private Sector Participation WBG will help the Government of Myanmar develop a request for expressions of interest (EOI) from the private sector to participate in the NEP. Pending responses to the request, MOEP and WBG will hold a workshop with interested private sector participants in January 2015.

Development of the National Electrification Plan
Background
Myanmar is at an unprecedented juncture to launch a national electrification program for providing reliable, affordable and sustainable electricity services to the entire population of approximately 60 million. The government, international and bilateral organizations, and the private sector all demonstrated their commitment and interest in playing a role in the journey to achieving universal access.
With strong support and commitment from GoM, the World Bank has mobilized a grant of approximately US$2.0 million through the UN Sustainable Energy for ALL Initiative, to support the GoM in developing a National Electrification Plan (NEP).
The NEP is a comprehensive action plan (road map) outlining the enabling policy and institutional framework for developing, financing, and implementing a nationwide electricity access scale-up program with the target of achieving universal access by 2030 in an effective and efficient manner. Specifically the NEP includes, inter alia, a GeospatialLeast-costElectrificationRollout plan for grid and off-grid areas, and a UniversalAccessRoadmap andInvestmentProspectus.
It is the objective of the World Bank/ESMAP-supported National Electrification Plan is to help chart out a path towards achieving universal access that is appropriate in the Myanmar context.
The NEP coordinates with ongoing rural energy access work in off-grid areas being conducted by ADB in collaboration with MOLFRD.
