The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.

Highlights

  • Natural gas is one of the country's most important sources of export revenues.
  • The National Electrification Plan aims at electrifying all households by 2030.
  • The country targets a 13% share of wind and PV in the power mix in 2025.
  • Government enterprises dominate the energy sector.
  • Several international O&G companies pulled out of Myanmar in the wake of the military coup.
  • Myanmar has large reserves of natural gas and a huge hydropower potential.
  • The installed capacity has doubled since 2010 with over 2 GW of CCGT capacity added, and gas and hydropower dominate the power mix.
  • Oil products prices doubled in 2022.
  • Electricity prices have been declining since 2020.
  • Total consumption per capita is the lowest in ASEAN region and biomass still dominates the energy mix (46% in 2022), despite a downward trend (-17 points since 2010).
  • Households and services absorb half of the final energy consumption.
  • Electricity consumption rose 2.6-fold between 2010 and 2022.
  • International sanctions and political instability have stopped investments by western foreign investors, while Chinese energy groups keep strong interests, notably in LNG-to-power and hydro projects.
  • Russia and Myanmar are tightening up cooperation on energy supply, notably on oil products.
  • Almost 10 GW of hydro capacity is under construction.

  • Institutions & Energy Policy

    In 2022, the State Administration Council (SAC) transformed the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) into two separate ministries: the Ministry of Energy (MOE) and the Ministry of Electrical Power (MOEP).

  • Energy Supply

    Resources:

    Myanmar has abundant energy resources, particularly hydropower and natural gas. The country's theoretical hydroelectricity potential, only a small part of which is being exploited, is estimated at 100 GW.

  • Energy Prices

    Oil:

    Gasoline and diesel prices follow international prices, rising over 2020-2022 after declining over 2018-2020. In 2023, price increased by 15% to US$1.37/l for gasoline and declined by 5.5% to US$1.38% for diesel.

    In 2023, the gasoline price was 8% lower than in Thailand and similar to Vietnam. For diesel, the price is higher than in Thailand (+55%) and Vietnam (+40%).

  • Energy Consumption

    In 2022, consumption per capita was 0.4 toe (67% below the ASEAN average). Electricity consumption per capita is among the lowest in Asia (around 300 kWh in 2022, i.e. 80% below the ASEAN average).

    Total energy consumption rose rapidly until 2019 (+5%/year on average between 2010 and 2019) and has plateaued at around 21 Mtoe since then.

  • Issues & Prospects

    Gas:

    The gas fields are being depleted and the country is studying the possibility of developing LNG terminals to cope with the declining domestic production.

  • Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
  • Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
  • Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
  • Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
  • Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator.

The Myanmar energy market data since 1990 and up to is included in the Excel file accompanying the Myanmar country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

  • Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO2 emissions.
  • Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
  • Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
  • Energy Balance: total and per energy.
  • Myanmar Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Myanmar energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO2 emissions (from fuel combustion).
