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 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.

Day 2, Jan 29, 2015






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.
1. PSP for on-grid power
2. PSP for off-grid power

Day 2, Nov 5, 2014

Social and Environmental Issues
1. Poverty and Social Impact Assesment (PSIA): Policies Introduction, PSIA Qualitative Analysis
2. Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF): Poverty and social impacts analysis


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.
