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,
According to the 2015 Asian Development Bank report ‘National Energy Eficiency and Conservation Policy, Strategy and Roadmap of Myanmar’, electricity consumption in all sectors and achievable energy saving potential should reach 12% by 2020, 16% by 2025, and 20% by 2030.
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.
Myanmar is endowed with rich natural resources for producing commercial energy. Currently, the available energy sources in Myanmar are crude oil, natural gas, hydropower, biomass, and coal. Wind energy, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are other potential energy sources.
Hydropower generation will increase but at a slower average annual rate of 3.4% over the same period. Myanmar’s primary energy intensity (TPES/GDP) has been declining since 1990. In 2017, the primary energy intensity was 253.1 tonnes of oil equivalent per million dollars (toe/$ million), lower than 1990 when it was 1,333 toe/$ million.
Myanmar’s yearly plan for the construction of power plants from 2018 to 2022 (Table 12.2) mostly covers gas-based power plants (including liquefied natural gas), along with some hydropower and solar power plants. The yearly plan excludes coal-based power plants, of which the country currently has 120 MW of installed capacity.
In Myanmar, commercial energy consumption is projected on the basis of the energy requirements of major sectors (industry, transport, and agriculture)). Choice of fuel type is determined by available supply, since energy demand must be met mainly by domestic Figure 12.10.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
