Achieving Universal Access to Electricity in Myanmar
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. International and bilateral organizations present at the Workshop included JICA, ADB, UNDP, DFID, US Department of State, and IFC in addition to World Bank.

Second Workshop
The Second Workshop on Development of Myanmar National Electrification Plan towards Universal Access, co-organized by the MOEP, MLFRD, and the World Bank, took place in Nay Pyi Taw on November 22, 2013.
Approximately 145 participants attended the workshop, including representatives from government agencies, international and bilateral organizations, and domestic institutions, including Myanmar Peace Center and Myanmar Development Research Institute. International and bilateral organizations present at the Workshop include JICA, ADB, UNIDO, US Department of State, Norway, BIF, and IFC in addition to the World Bank. The workshop discussed and finalized the design, methodology, and detailed work plan for both components of Myanmar’s National Electrification Plan (NEP).
The Workshop drew high level attention to both long term and short term challenges, and issues of providing affordable and sustainable electricity services to the entire population of Myanmar. The Workshop provided a platform to engage various stakeholders internally and externally to design and finalize the work plan and methodology of NEP. The main issues covered in the discussions of the Workshop included i) study objective, design and expected outcome, ii) national geospatial least-cost electrification planning, iii) universal access roadmap and investment prospectus, and iv) institutional framework and business models.

National Electrification Plan Implementation
Myanmar National Electrification Project
Overview
The Myanmar National Electrification Project (MNEP) will support the expansion of electricity services in Myanmar through gird 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.
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.
