| Title: | | Solar Energy Potential and Applications in Myanmar |
| Date of publication: | | August 2008 |
| Description/subject: | | Abstract: "Energy consumption is one of the indices in
determining the levels of development of a nation. Therefore,
availability of energy supply to all sectors of life in any country is
crucial for its development. These exists shortage of all kinds of
energy, particularly electricity which is badly needed for economic
development. Electricity from the sun which is quite abundant in
most of the developing countries is used in rural areas to meet basic
electricity needs of a rural community. Today’s electricity supply in
Myanmar is generated by fuel generators and hydroelectric power
plants. However, far-flung areas which are away from National Grids
cannot enjoy the electricity generated by these sources. Since
Myanmar is a land of plentiful sunshine, especially in central and
southern regions of the country, the first form of energy- solar energy
could hopefully become the final solution to its energy supply
problem. The direct conversion of solar energy into electricity using
photovoltaic system has been receiving intensive installation not only
in developed countries but also in developing countries. It is mainly
intended to present solar energy potential and application in
Myanmar. It is also wanted to get the benefits of using solar energy
for people in remote areas which are not yet connected to the national
grids because of the high price of fossil fuel."...
Keywords—Electricity supply in Myanmar, National Grids, solar

| Title: | | SOLAR POWER SEEN AS SOLUTION FOR REMOTE VILLAGES |
| Date of publication: | | 12 October 2003 |
| Description/subject: | | "Subsidies, technical support and greater awareness are needed to speed the development of alternative energy
sources in Myanmar, an industry spokesman said last week. One of the leaders in the field, U Win Khaing,
managing director of Myanmar Solar Energy System, a subsidiary of United Engineering, is enthusiastic about
the future of solar power as an alternative power source in this country. “Myanmar has great potential for utilising
solar energy which is a free energy source. It could provide an immediate solution for remote villages that are
not connected to the national electricity grid” |
