Can solar power improve Myanmar's development?
Myanmar is moving to exploit solar and wind energy, but experts said such attempts must be stepped up to smoothen the country’s development. Soe Soe Ohn, director of the national electrification project at the Rural Development Department, said solar energy offered high potential particularly in rural electrification.
What is the energy demand supply situation in Myanmar?
The Myanmar energy demand supply situation indicates that power generation mix must shift to more coal and hydropower, continued use of biomass, natural gas consumption, and appropriate increase of renewable energy such as solar PV and wind power generation.
Should Myanmar invest in solar energy?
Myanmar still lacks regulations on renewable energy while local firms have limited experience with complex systems, which together constrain the solar system’s potential. Tax incentives including exemptions on import duty and commercial sales tax for equipment as well as power purchase agreements should be adopted.
Is solar energy a sustainable solution for Myanmar?
Myanmar is increasingly prioritizing solar energy development as a sustainable solution to address its energy shortages and improve rural electrification. The solar energy market has grown significantly in recent years, driven by technological advances and declining costs.
Is solar energy a viable option for Myanmar's off-grid area?
For the off-grid area, Myanmar has mainly emphasis on solar home system and mini-grid system to be sustainable, affordable and environmental friendly. This paper aims to describe the high potential of solar energy, current situation of solar energy implementations and the important of Renewable Energy of Myanmar respectively.
Why is solar energy important for rural electrification in Myanmar?
Due to lack of water in summer season in Myanmar, Solar Energy will be a vital role in Electricity generation because of the high sunshine hours for that time. Therefore, the government of Myanmar is trying to increase the utilization of solar energy for the rural electrification.
