77/4/2013

Current Energy Policy
 To implement the status of sustainable energy development
 To promote wider use of new and renewable sources of energy
 To promote energy efficiency and conservation
 To promote use of alternative fuels in household To fulfill domestic energy requirement as priority
 To implement effective utilization of discovered crude oil andnatural gas resources in the interest of the entire nation including
the regions where the discovery was made To Promote more private participation

CNG Conversion Programme Myanmar is substituting liquid fuels with natural gas in industrial andtransport sectors wherever possible.
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)/ Natural Gas Vehicle (NGV) conversion
programme was initiated starting from 1986 and a total of 27,472 vehicles wereconverted and a total of 45 refuelling stations are constructed around thecountry within 25 years.

 More CNG refuelling stations will be installed along the existing domestic

pipeline route. 35,556 lG/Day of Gasoline and 76,495 lG/Day of HSD aresaving

by substitution of CNG vehicles. CNG price in Myanmar is low compared withthe neighbouring countries.

Myanmar’s Energy Efficiency Goals(ASEAN EAS-ECTF Programme)

Goals
 Save 5% of total Primary energy consumption for 2020 and 8% for2030 compared to base year 2005.
 Improve 16% efficiency in all sectors’ end-use by 2030.

Energy Efficiency Plan Well- defined EE policy guideline Detailed information on energy use Training and dissemination EE and EC practices

Energy Prices
 Institutional strengthening and capacity building4. To Promote Use of Alternative Fuels in Household Nearly 30% of total land area covered by forests
 Fuel wood plantations established as Community Forests

for household usage
 Efficient Stoves are encouraged
 To use Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) as alternative fuel7/4/2013

5. To fulfill domestic energy requirement as priority

 200 mmcfd from Yadana project 10000 barrels of associated condensate from Yedagunproject 65 mmcfd from onshore fields
 Renegotiation with contractors of Zawtika Project andShwe project to get back some gas for domestic use
 Plan to use all of discovered natural gas and crude oilfrom Myanmar Offshore block M3 project

7/4/2013

6. To implement effective utilization of discovered crude oil and natural gas resources in the interest of the entire
nation including the regions where the discovery was made 100 mmcfd from Zawtika project for Yangon area 25 mmcfd from Yadana project for Kanbauk area 20 mmcfd form Shwe project for Kyaukphyu area

7/4/2013

7. To promote more private participation in energy sector

 260 filling stations privatized on 10 June 2010
 Leasing of Lube Blending Plant in Thanlyin Refinery compound Invitation of investment for Thanlyin Refinery on the basis of JV
 Invitation of investment for Aviation Refueling Service
 1st bidding round for onshore blocks in 2011
 2nd bidding round for onshore blocks at the beginning of 2013
 Bidding round for offshore blocks in April 2013

Major Difficulties andBottlenecks

7/4/2013

Current Major Difficulties and Bottlenecks in Formulating Energy Policy

Main Challenge No exact method for demand forecasting and supply planning Lack of data quality improvement Lack of data analysis and energy data base management Lack of statistical technique in line with international standard

Difficulties in framing national energy policyInstitutional framework

Legal and regulatory frameworkData information and reportingFinancing and private sector participationCommunity participation

Research and Development

Capacity building

Monitoring and evaluation

Lack of integrated and long-term energy planning and development



Lack of pricing mechanismLimited number of staff dedicated to energy policy and regulation.

Low electrification ratioHigh losses in transmission and distribution networks for power and naturalgas

Persistent blackouts in Yangon region in dry season

Low electricity tariffPoor operation and maintenance of power generation ,distribution networks

transmission, andExpectation

7/4/2013

Subjects I would like to study in this program Methods of forecasting energy demand and supply planning (for the stable supply tomeet national energy demand is main objective of policy formulation )

Global energy situation( it should be taking into account in framing national energy policy)

General basic facts in the formulation of energy policy (national energy policy is now underprocess of drawing up by our organization)Programs for promotion of Renewable Energy as well as Energy Efficiency andConservation(our country needs to develop RE and EE&C)

Environmental Impacts (Environmental Conservation is one of the major issues in the Contents ofEnergy Policy)
