Energy storage at the finnish myanmar power plant

What is the energy demand supply situation in Myanmar?

The Myanmar energy demand supply situation indicates that power generation mix must shift to more coal and hydropower, continued use of biomass, natural gas consumption, and appropriate increase of renewable energy such as solar PV and wind power generation.

How is electricity used in Myanmar?

Electricity can be generated in two main ways: by harnessing the heat from burning fuels or nuclear reactions in the form of steam (thermal power) or by capturing the energy of natural forces such as the sun, wind or moving water. of total generation

What natural resources are found in Myanmar?

Myanmar is endowed with rich natural resources used for the production of commercial energy. The current available sources of energy found in Myanmar are crude oil, natural gas, hydroelectricity, biomass, and coal. Besides these, wind, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are the potential energy sources found in Myanmar.

What energy sources are found in Myanmar?

Besides these, wind, solar, geothermal, bioethanol, biodiesel, and biogas are the potential energy sources found in Myanmar. Myanmar’s proven energy reserves in 2017 comprised of 94 million barrels of oil, 4.552 trillion cubic feet of gas, and over 500 million metric tons of coal.

Will natural gas power plants stop operating in Myanmar in 2050?

This was because of the flexibility in the natural gas power generation in Myanmar. Under the BAU scenario, oil-based power plants will cease operation by 2030. While both hydro and natural gas would maintain shares in the power sector mix in 2050, the share would change to 5.7% from hydro-based power plants and to 28.9% from natural gas.

Does Myanmar need nuclear energy?

In the case of Myanmar, there is no existing plan to introduce nuclear energy for power generation. As such, the APS4 was not considered in the analysis. Thus, APS5 would only consist of APS1, APS2, and APS3.The APS3 includes more renewable energy in the power generation mix of Myanmar.
