Energy Supply Security Study for Myanmar
consumption will increase remarkably according to the Myanmar Energy Outlook (2020). Thus, the import of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and the diverse power generation mix will be options for Myanmar for securing domestic natural gas supply. Myanmar is fully dependent on imports of oil and its import share was 92% in 2017.

6 FAQs about [Myanmar storage of power]
How much power does Myanmar produce?
In the power sector, Myanmar has 5,848 megawatts (MW) of installed generation capacity, and produced almost 22 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity in 2018. In the same year, thermal power (coal, natural gas, and oil) accounted for 44% of total electricity generation and hydropower accounted for 56%. Table 12.1.
How can Myanmar save energy?
Myanmar can save energy by implementing energy eficiency programmes in all energy-consuming sectors. In the industry sector, improved manufacturing technologies are expected to generate energy savings of at least 14% from BAU by 2020.
Did Myanmar import electricity?
Myanmar did not import electricity. Power generation, which includes electricity and heat, is one of the largest sources of CO2 emissions globally, primarily from the burning of fossil fuels like coal and natural gas in thermal power plants.
What is happening in Myanmar's power sector?
Myanmar’s power sector has been severely afected by the ongoing political turmoil. The power sector has been spiralling downward since 2021 with prolonged electricity blackouts throughout the country. Electricity generation has been declining, resulting in a widening power supply–demand gap.
How does commercial energy consumption work in Myanmar?
In Myanmar, commercial energy consumption is projected based on the energy requirements of the major sectors (industry, transport, agriculture, and households). The choice of fuel type is determined by available supply, since energy demand must be met mainly by domestic sources.
Why do we need electricity connections in Myanmar?
Such connections can help to balance out supply and demand across regions, which will be increasingly important as variable renewables like solar and wind make up a larger share of electricity generation. Myanmar did not import electricity.
