The Ministry of Electric Power had, on July 15, 2013 opened a tender concerning power and natural gas for supplying electricity to 15 industrial zones in Yangon. The deadline for submitting the proposal and prices, which was initially July 31, was later extended to August 15, 2013.
The ministry plans to make the natural gas to be used in power plants operated under the Ministry of Electric Power to be purchased through a gas pipeline owned by Myanmar Oil and Gas Enterprise.
In the year 2013, the Ministry of Electric Power plans to purchase around 150 million and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. After 2014, it hopes to increase this number to approximately 500 and 600 million cubic feet a day.
A Floating Storage and Regasification Unit or FSRU has been used for importing the method of natural gas conversion.
Various international and local tenders for power generation and distribution had been invited by the ministry to the designated 15 industrial zones in Yangon. The companies who win the tender will be obligated to provide a constant supply of electricity to the industrial zones of Myanmar's largest city.
With the exception of rainy season, currently, the factories in Yangon's industrial zones have access to electricity for only five hours a day.
The current electricity demand of Myanmar is estimated to be around 2,000 megawatts. The power generated from natural gas power plants hopes to meet 20 percent of this demand.
The upcoming 2nd Myanmar Power Summit in Yangon on September 23-25, 2013 will throw further light on the Ministry’s on future plans as well as related policies.

Myanmar’s power shortage is one of the biggest problems faced by investors and developers in the new frontier. With the influx of foreign companies and investors, Myanmar’s unstable electricity has become apparent and troughs of efforts are now underway to rectify this issue. Currently, only about 26% of the general public receives electricity, which is set to change by 2030 as Myanmar government makes bold plans to improve the statistic to 80%.
Foreign companies with technical know-how and up-to-date technology now play a big role in the government’s plan to develop the nation’s power sector and national grid. What’s needed now are investments in large base-load power plants powered by coal, natural gas or hydropower in key cities such as Yangon and Mandalay, where power interruptions can translate to economic problems.
Other strategic approaches and opportunities for foreign investors include investing in “small, renewable, off-grid power plants in rural areas” to better suit areas where power demands are low, and also investing in power plants in the Thai-Myanmar border to tap on the sale of electricity to both countries.
Power sector opportunities in Myanmar have attracted a huge number of investors thus far, including those at the government level. Recently, it has been announced that Indonesia’s PT Bukit Asam (PTBA), a state-owned coal miner, are in the talks of a joint venture with a Myanmar company to collaborate in a power plant project, functioning as a G2G cooperation.
In Japan, efforts to help Myanmar achieve its goal by 2030 are also put in place. Japan’s Kansai Electric Power Co. is embarking on a 160 million yen research project till June 2014 to study “Myanmar’s electricity market and power generation capabilities and make a proposal to the Myanmar government on power source development plans through 2030”. The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) has also sent out an order for Chubu Electric Power Co. to research on ways to improve power generation and associated facilities in Myanmar’s commercial capital, Yangon.
The upcoming 2nd Myanmar Power Summit in Yangon on September 23-25, 2013, an industry event hosted by the Ministry of Electric Power, will see regional players convene for updates and networking opportunities. Minister of Electric Power, U Khin Maung Soe will be giving a Keynote Opening at the summit, and senior representatives from both the Ministry and JICA will also be present to share insights and elaborate on future plans.
