Myanmar renewable energy policy
A case study of renewable energy development in Myanmar:
Our analysis reveals that there are numerous reasons for the lack of solar, wind, and biomass energy growth in Myanmar, such as regressive electricity tariffs, problematic hydropower contracts, low levels of social acceptance and awareness of clean technologies, and a lack of institutional policy framework for renewable energy.

A Case Study of Renewable Energy Development in Myanmar
Myanmar has one of the lowest electrification rates in the world, and most of its inhabitants, who lack access to electricity, live off-grid in rural areas. Despite Myanmar having abundant sun and wind energy resources, which could potentially generate electricity for rural communities, renewable energy growth in Myanmar is stunted. In this article, we examine the

Energy in Myanmar
Myanmar had a total primary energy supply of 16.57 Mtoe in 2013. [1] Electricity consumption was 8.71 TWh. [1] 65% of the primary energy supply consists of biomass energy, used almost exclusively (97%) in the residential sector. [1]Myanmar''s energy consumption per capita is one of the lowest in Southeast Asia due to the low electrification rate and a widespread poverty.
