7. A National Energy Management Committee (NEMC) and an Energy Development Committee
(EDC) were also created in early January 2013 to strengthen coordination and planning among
the energy sector’s institutions.
National Energy Management Committee, 2014

8. Energy Policy Laid By NEMC
• Explore and exploit all energy resources available in
Myanmar.
• Reform the organizational set-up of energy related
State entities in accordance with the State’s economic
reform policy.
• Compile systematic statistics on domestic demand and
supply of various different kinds of energy resources of
Myanmar.
• Implement rural energy supply programs in order to
narrow the gap between urban and rural energy
consumption.
• Implement measures for sustainable energy
development. National Energy Management Committee, 2014

9. • Promote Energy Efficiency and Energy Conservation.
• Establish Research & Development institutions in order to
keep abreast with international practices in energy
resources exploration and development works and to
produce international quality products.
• Promote international collaboration in energy matters.
• Formulate appropriate policy for energy product pricing
meeting the economic security of energy producer,
energy supplier and energy consumer and also to reduce
the subsidy in pricing of energy products.
National Energy Management Committee, 2014

10. Development of Renewable Energy
• It is very practical to materialize Village Electrification by using
available RE resources of Solar, Micro-hydro and Biomass.
• Almost all Myanmar villages of about 64000 numbers with 70%
of the country’s population have at least one kind of those
resources. Currently, 1.5 to 500W range of applications are
occurred throughout the country at community self-help
attempts.
• Those are existing situation to IMPROVE and DEVELOP by
strategic and systematic development of RE.
• Recently Government formed a Ministry level Committee of
“Rural Electrification & Water Supply” under changed Policy of
Rural Development & Poverty alleviation.
• Also current Energy Policy reform processes are planning to
support on deployment of RE for Country Power sector
development.
Ministry of Science and Technology, Myanmar, 2013

11. Barriers to Develop the Renewable
Energy
• Lack of statistical information and data collection,
combination and saving.
• Lack of cooperation among Ministries and
Organizations regarding renewable energy sector
development.
• Lack of awareness of renewable energy
technologies.
• Lack of assistance from International Agencies
and organizations in the are of Financing and
transferring Technologies.
