HOME / Solar power generation in rural Myanmar - CAPTURED ENERGY SOLAR (PTY) LTDMyanmar requires a shift to distributed electrification to accelerate its agricultural development and support critical value chains, particularly in rural areas that lie more than 10km from the national grid. This need is
In 2019, the government announced plans to build two solar energy plants—in Myingyan and Wundwin in Mandalay Division —each to have a generation capacity of 150 MW.
During the 2024–2025 financial year, solar home systems are being implemented in villages within Shan State (East) and Ayeyawady Region using over K8 billion from the Union Budget Fund,
In remote areas with limited access to the national power grid, electricity is being supplied using multiple methods, including solar energy, small-scale hydropower plants, and power plants fueled by wind and diesel.
In this context, together with its partners Geres and Thitsar Ooin, GRET is implementing a project to improve access to renewable electricity and use of energy-efficient products by MSMEs and rural households in four
The project Solar mini-grids are a viable alternative to unsustainable energy solutions for many communities in Myanmar. They provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy that can be used by rural families,
Despite abundant natural resources, many rural areas lack reliable electricity, making solar energy a strategic solution for off-grid and underserved communities.
According to the 2024 census, 51.6 per cent of rural areas now have access to electricity. In terms of energy sources, 30.2 per cent of rural power consumption comes from renewable energy, of which
The Myanmar government is undertaking a significant energy transformation, prioritizing the use of renewable energy to expand rural electrification as outlined in its National Electrification Master Plan.
Local homes and businesses have seen a 50% decrease in energy costs with the new solar mini-grid, while public facilities receive the electricity for free. In addition, the solar system eliminates the daily use of diesel
