Report on Poverty and Social Impacts Analysis (Dec 2014)

December, 2014: Understanding the impact of tariffs and connection costs for the preparation of the National Electrification Plan, Myanmar

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.

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.

IFC Energy Access – Lighting Myanmar (Jan 28, 2016)

Energy Access Myanmar - Project Overview

The Energy Access Myanmar project is a key element of the Government of Myanmar’s National Electrification Plan (NEP). This IFC-led private sector market development initiative is complementary to the World Bank-financed $400 million loan supporting the NEP, which aims to double electrification rates in the country through expansion of the national grid and off-grid solutions in remote areas (including solar lanterns, solar home systems, and mini-grids).

IFC is working closely with the GoM, World Bank and other stakeholders to catalyze the growth of the commercial energy market, with two main objectives:

1. IFC will work with the private sector through Lighting Myanmar, to develop the commercial market for off-grid access to modern energy services. Lighting MMR will support companies to increase commercial sales of quality assured solar products and efficient appliances, and will potentially work with developers to support high-potential business models for mini-grids. IFC is working closely with the World Bank and the GoM to adopt technical standards to ensure quality products are entering the market.
   
2. The IFC project will also support grid expansion and improvement in transmission and distribution (T&D) via the World Bank/ IDA-financed grid expansion program. IFC will leverage technical experience supporting T&D system expansion, globally and in Southeast Asia, to support grid expansion for potential future private sector participation.

IFC Workshop Summary – January 28

IFC hosted a workshop for the World Bank, Department of Rural Development and other energy sector stakeholders, as well as international suppliers of high quality solar devices and key local value chain actors in Yangon, on Thursday, January 28th, 2016. The purpose of the workshop was to discuss the findings of IFC’s initial market assessment of the off-grid solar market. This one day event offered companies with quality verified products (e.g., Associates of the Lighting Global program) an opportunity to learn about the landscape of potential local partners, explore the backdrop of government programs, and dive deep with IFC on the local market opportunities. It was also an opportunity for IFC to hear feedback from Associates and local actors on the design of the Lighting Myanmar program, and to meet potential partners for developing the market.

Myanmar Electric Power Project (MEPP)

Overview

The development objective of the Electric Power Project for Myanmar is to increase capacity and efficiency of gas-fired power generation and strengthen the institutional capacity of the Ministry of electric power and the Myanmar electric power enterprise. 

There are two components to the project. 

The first component of the project is supply and installation (S&I) of a Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) power plant at the existing Thaton Gas Turbine (GT) station. This is the main component of the project is the expansion of the Thaton GT station into a new CCGT power plant. A modern, high-efficiency, low-emissions CCGT power plant will comprise two 40 Megawatt (MW) gas turbines with inlet air chillers, one steam turbine of 26 (MW), a heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and air-cooled steam condenser.

The second component of the project is technical assistance component focused on institutional and capacity building support to Ministry of Electric Power (MOEP) and Myanmar Electricity Power Enterprise (MEPE). This component will provide technical assistance and advisory services to MOEP and MEPE in two main areas.
