Description:
"Considering that today only 34 per cent of the
population have access to electricity and 70 per
cent of the people residing in rural areas remain
physically isolated during part or all of the year,
climate change poses a clear danger to energy
access and connectivity across the country in
future.
Although Myanmar has a high potential to
promote renewable energy and secure the growing
demand for electricity, the sector is characterised
by inadequate power supply infrastructure, high
dependence on fuel wood in rural regions, and
low electrification rates.
Enhancing the country?s capacity to exploit its full
energy potential and develop its transport sector
in a climate-resilient and low-carbon manner is a
key to its sustainable future. Myanmar will need
to upgrade and retrofit existing infrastructure
to reduce vulnerabilities, adapt to the changing
climate and reduce emissions through greener
transport systems..."
