Published in 2016, Myanmar’s Electricity Vision report provided a strong case for the technical and economic feasibility of Myanmar achieving 100 per cent electrification through renewable energy by 2050. A lot has changed over the past five years: a larger population requires more electricity, the economics and technology of renewable energy have changed massively, and also the public’s attitude towards renewable energy has changed. The objective of the revised Myanmar’s Electricity Vision (Myanmar’s Renewable Energy Vision) is, however, unchanged. Updated with new data and new scenarios, and in collaboration with more partners than in 2016, the new report once again outlines how Myanmar can diversify its generation mix and sustainably meet its energy needs.
