National Electrification Plan Designing
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.
First Workshop
Approximately 150 participants attended at the workshop, including representatives from the government agencies of Myanmar, international and bilateral organizations, NGOs, and the private sector. The workshop agenda included presentations of different country experience in Asia, Africa and Latin America, panel discussions on various implementation issues related to national electrification, existing and planned support in the electricity sector by development partners, as well as open discussions on key elements of a national electrification strategy.
