The extension of a deadline for a long-awaited tender for on-grid solar power from one to two months is unlikely to mute criticism about its tricky terms.
Description:
"The Ministry of Electricity and Energy has responded to criticism over its controversial 1060-megawatt solar power tender, extending the bid deadline by a month to give bidders more time to prepare proposals.
Announced on May 18, the potentially billion-dollar tender for 30 sites across the country on 20-year contracts originally set a June 18 deadline for bids.
The tight deadline prompted an outcry from potential investors and warnings that the government would end up paying more for power, particularly as tender rules require bidders to show evidence of having secured land when they submit their proposals.
Given COVID-19-related restrictions on domestic and international travel makes it almost impossible to visit any of the sites, the one-month window effectively ruled out companies or consortiums that did not already have land near the proposed sites. Support independent journalism in Myanmar. Sign up to be a Frontier member.
The extension notice, published in the Global New Light of Myanmar on June 3, pushes back the deadline to July 17, giving investors two months in total to prepare a bid.
It represents a surprising backtrack for the ministry and its Electric Power Generation Enterprise, which had previously indicated it was not considering an extension. In a clarification document shared on May 29 with companies that had purchased tender documents, it responded to numerous requests for an extension by saying: “At the moment, EPGE does not consider any extension of Bid Submission Date.”
In a meeting with foreign business chambers on May 29, Minister for Investment and Foreign Economic Relations U Thaung Tun also seemed to endorse the tender, saying that the government “wanted to proceed with that quite fast” to expedite investment and stimulate the economy, which has been badly affected by COVID-19.
The extension of the bid deadline is unlikely to mute the criticism, however..."

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) is being criticised by the business community over a recent tender for solar power, with key foreign investors pressing for more time to prepare bids and for tough conditions to be revised.
Description:
"The tender, issued by the ministry’s Electric Power Generation Enterprise (EPGE) on May 18, invites companies to bid for the construction of 30 ground-mounted solar plants capable of generating 1060MW of power in total under a 20-year build, operate and own basis. That’s about one third of the total dry-season generation capacity of Myanmar.
The proposed solar sites are in Ayeyarwady, Bago, Magwe, Mandalay, Sagaing, Nay Pyi Taw and Yangon’s Shwepyithar township. The announcement comes after the government released its COVID-19 economic relief plan in late April. The plan includes expediting “solicitation of renewable energy projects after monitoring cost developments to assess the quality of available deals” before the end of 2020. But European and US business groups say the one-month deadline is too tight to meet given the COVID-19 travel restrictions as well as time needed for land documentation.
Myanmar has banned international flights until June 1, imposed strict facility quarantine measures for business travellers and may extend the flight ban by decree. So, prospective developers cannot visit the country, make investment decisions or inspect the sites before bidding.
The deadline is difficult to achieve particularly because of the land acquisition requirement, commented Nishant Choudhary, a Yangon-based partner at law firm DFDL.
Even for developers established in Myanmar, the schedule “poses a great challenge” to complete the preparation of bid, valuation, land documentation and other necessary work, “particularly in the backdrop of COVID situation, where most of the international players have temporarily relocated from Myanmar to their home country. Also, those interested cannot fly into Myanmar,” he said.
According to a draft letter to the government seen by The Myanmar Times, the business groups are planning to ask for the deadline to be extended by at least two to three months..."

Major solar power tender's terms are seemingly designed to leave foreign investors in the dark
Description:
"Myanmar is rushing ahead with a major solar power initiative amid the Covid-19 pandemic, giving potential investors just a month to submit bids and raising questions about the tender’s intent and viability.
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy published a notice on its official Facebook page dated May 18 inviting companies to submit pre-qualifying bids to construct solar energy plants on a 20-year concession basis.
The ministry will buy power from 30 “designated connection points” on a build-operate-own basis, according to the announcement.
The tender deadline is June 18, giving investors one month to assemble and submit their bids, a fast-tracked time table that is raising concerns about non-competive bidding and possible related land-grabbing.
The tender document, reviewed by Asia Times, includes 30 solar plants ranging from 30 to 50 megawatts (MW), with a combined capacity of 1060 MW. That’s equivalent to one third of the country’s current dry season available capacity of 3,100 MW. That capacity, the ministry says, is generated by 20 gas-fired, 62 hydropower and one coal-fired plant. Developers are required to start operating the plants within 180 days after an official letter of acceptance is issued, with stiff financial penalities for non-production after the deadline, according to the document.
More controversially, bidders are required to include evidence of prior land acquisition for solar plant sites in their proposals..."

"The ASEAN Post recently published an article on extreme climate in Myanmar and its threat to the locals, agriculture, ecosystems and more. It is said that Myanmar is one of the most vulnerable countries at risk of climate crisis. Extreme droughts and flooding in recent years and cyclones such as Nargis have affected millions of locals and cost thousands their lives. Natural disasters are one of the major impacts of climate change. According to a report by Myanmar’s Ministry of Planning and Finance titled, ‘Myanmar Sustainable Development Plan 2018-2030’, the country penned several action plans to address the climate situation. One of the strategies is to scale-up the use of renewable energy resources in the country. The report also stated that Myanmar will embark on a low-carbon, green economy development trajectory that prioritises the efficient use of natural resources.Today, hydropower is the main source of energy powering electricity generation in Myanmar; making up two-thirds of the total electricity produced in the country. The rest comes from fossil fuels, with gas as the main fuel followed by coal and oi"l. In 2018, electricity generation from hydropower generated a record 4,200 terawatt hours (TWh), which is the highest ever contribution from a renewable energy source, according to the International Hydropower Association (IHA), an organisation that represents the global hydropower sector...

"Myanmar is trying to increase the content of renewable energy sources by tapping all available energy sources to generate electricity, said Union Minister for Electricity and Energy Win Khaing.
As the country is blessed with solar energy, wind power and other renewable energy sources, a 40-megawatt solar power plant has been built in Minbu and the plant is distributing electricity through the national grid.
The minister stressed the need to increase employing energy sources that have little impact on the environment.
The government is trying to generate electricity covering the whole country by 2030.
n a three-year period from 2016-2017 fiscal year to 2018-2019 FY, over 11,000 kilowatt hours of hydropower electricity and around 9,000 kilowatt hours of electricity from natural gas were produced on a yearly basis, the Central Statistics Organization quoted the statement issued by the Ministry of Electricity and Energy.
Currently, the national electrification plan is being implemented with a loan of US$400 million from the World Bank. Of 63,264 villages in the country, 14,570 have access to electricity, according to the ministry..."

"Solar energy startup Cygni, an Indian Institute of Technology, Madras incubatee company, is looking to break into the lucrative export markets in Myanmar and Bangladesh.
The company, which manufactures solar power backup and DC (direct current) micro-grid solutions, apart from battery for electric vehicles at its Hyderabad plant, is planning to explore the offshore markets from the next 2020-21 financial year, Cygni Energy CEO Venkat Rajaraman told Business Standard here on Wednesday. “While we are targetting to double our revenues from nearly Rs 100 crore in 2018-19 to more than Rs 200 crore this fiscal year, we are targetting to export our products in the neighbouring countries of Myanmar and Bangladesh,” he informed.
In 2018, the company had raised an equity funding of $US 6.4 million (roughly Rs 45 crore) from Endiya Partners for its expansion.
“We have invested Rs 25 crore in our manufacturing facility, which has a current plant load factor of nearly 60 per cent,” he said adding more funds would be invested to ramp up the installed capacity and towards the research & development (R&D) going forward. The R&D unit is situated in the IIT Madras campus, he said.
Meanwhile, Cygni has launched its new range of products in the Uttar Pradesh market, which Rajaranman noted was the largest yet ‘challenging’ market for the company, owing to the emphasis on the affordability factor. Cygni battery caters to both the e-rickshaw and e-scooter categories, while it also offers energy solutions for homes and offices, he said.
“The USP of Cygi is the ‘value for money’, energy efficiency and technologically advanced energy solutions propositions for the customers.”..."

Solar mini-grids in Myanmar are expected to take off as the private sector sees solar energy as a potentially commercially viable solution in Myanmar’s journey towards full electrification.
Description:
"With a US$1.6 million mini-grid installed, more than a thousand households on the island of Yesagyo in Magway Region were connected to electricity for the first time last month. The project was partly funded by the World Bank and Myanmar firm Parami Energy. Mandalay Yoma Energy also sees the potential in the sector and operates over 40 solar hybrid mini-grids Myanmar. It is a joint venture between French Engie Group’s GDF International SAS and Singapore-based consultancy Sol Partners. CEO Kapil Smith expects his firm to double the electricity generation capacity this year.
“It is fulfilling to see how the sector has grown in Myanmar in the past two years versus other countries which have been trying for years,” he said.
The rising business interest in Myanmar solar mini-grids reflects the vast potential of solar energy in the country as well as the role solar panels could play in bridging the nation’s energy deficit.
Only less than half of Myanmar’s population has been connected to electricity, and rural areas generally lag behind cities in terms of electrification rate. The energy ministry’s National
Electrification Plan aims to provide access to electricity to three-quarters of the population in 2025, and complete electrification by the end of this decade. The scheme is supported by the World Bank’s US$400 million worth of loans.
However, access still seems like a distant dream for communities residing in islands and mountainous areas. The World Bank estimated it could take years or even more than a decade for the roughly 1.3 million people in remote areas in Chin, Kachin, Kayin, Shan, Rakhine, Tanintharyi and Sagaing states and regions to be connected to the national grid.
“Off-grid solutions provide an alternative for communities in a decentralised manner, which is particularly useful for locations that will not receive access to the national grid for a significant period of time,” said Jordan Zele of Myanmar Energy Monitor..."

"Solar energy is just beginning to gain some traction in Myanmar, a country that has been gradually opening up its economy and society to the world since 2011. Demand for energy has been growing fast, in parallel with the ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member’s economy, and solar energy is competing against a variety of conventional, as well as alternative low- or zero-carbon, energy resources for its share of Myanmar’s energy mix.
Renewable energy, in the form of large-scale hydroelectric power, already accounts for around 60%, the single largest share, of Myanmar’s electricity generation mix. The country also has an abundance of natural gas, an important export and the source of hard, foreign currency export revenues, as well as domestic power generation.
Solar could play a big role in achieving Myanmar’s energy access, renewable energy and climate change goals, as well as go a long way towards setting Myanmar firmly on a sustainable development pathway, however. Levels vary widely across this geographically diverse Southeast Asian nation, but on the whole, Myanmar is endowed with an abundance of solar energy resource potential, an average solar irradiance of 4.5–5.1 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day (kWh/m2/day).
“Myanmar has incredible potential for solar energy: the International Growth Centre has estimated Myanmar’s solar potential to be 51.973 TWh (terawatt-hours) annually,” according to FinerGreen and ABO Wind, the authors of the SolarPower Europe Emerging Markets Task Force’s Myanmar research report, which was released in May..."

"A new IFC study shows there is significant potential for distributed solar solutions in the commercial and industrial sectors in Myanmar, presenting businesses an opportunity to bring down their power costs, as well as their climate impacts, according to a press release.
The Myanmar Distributed Generation Scoping Study estimates there are more than 700 megawatts worth of potential commercial and industrial solar projects in the country, equivalent to around 10 percent of the existing electric power generating capacity in the country. And it says solar is now cost competitive with other sources of electricity for many commercial and industrial businesses, providing a viable addition to help diversify Myanmar’s sustainable energy mix.
Myanmar needs to provide electricity to more than half of its population who are not connected to the national electricity grid and lack reliable electricity. Power outages are still common. Access to reliable electricity is a key challenge for businesses which are forced to rely on expensive costly, polluting backup diesel generators. The study found that businesses were getting an average of around 10 percent of their power from diesel due to frequent power cuts..."

The Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) has signed an agreement to purchase electricity generated by the 135 MW gas-fired Kyaukphyu Power Plant that will be built by independent power producer Kyauk Phyu Electric Power Co.
Description:
"According to a statement from the MOEE, the power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed last Tuesday.
Kyauk Phyu Electric Power Co is a joint venture between Myanmar’s Supreme Group and Chinese state-owned firm Power China.
The gas-fired power plant in Kyaukphyu, Rakhine State, is one of four projects expected to generate a total of 3111MW approved by the government last January.
The PPA is expected to help address Myanmar’s growing need for electricity, which is rising by about 1000MW a year, said the MOEE.
The power plantwill be located on the grounds of the 230 KV Main Power Sub-Station in Kyaukphyu Township in Rakhine State and will be built by under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) system.
Once completed the power plant will have an installed capacity of 146MW, although it will operate at 135MW.
The plant is being counted on to supply 1.05 billion units of electricity a year that is greatly needed in Rakhine and the rest of the country.
As the Kyaukphyu power plant project will take at least three years to come online, seven other PPAs expected to provide 1166MW of electricity have been approved as a short-term measure to meet power demand for next year, said Minister of Electricity and Energy U Win Khaing..."

$420m gas-fired facility helps plug power needs of 5.3m people
Description:
"Sembcorp Industries has officially opened a US$310 million (S$420 million) power plant in Myanmar.
The facility - in the Myingyan district in Mandalay - is the most efficient power plant in the country. It will generate around 1,500 gigawatt hours of electricity a year, helping to meet the power needs of approximately 5.3 million people. It is also the first power plant in Myanmar to have integrated solar power generation.
Solar panels on the rooftop of the plant's administrative building and warehouse can produce around 106 kilowatt of power at peak performance.
The panels generate electricity for on-site use so the plant will need less of the power generated by gas turbines for its own operations, leaving more for export to the grid. The plant is also one of the largest combined-cycle gas turbine plants in the country, with a contracted capacity of 225 megawatts. It uses advanced technology that maximises power output while minimising greenhouse gas emissions..."

"Ever since Myanmar undertook a series of political, economic and administrative reforms in 2011, the country’s economy has steadily improved. According to data from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Myanmar is enjoying some of the highest growth rates in the region. The ADB predicts that the country’s gross domestic product (GDP) will grow by eight percent, higher than any other country in Southeast Asia.
Similar to other Southeast Asian nations at the moment, Myanmar is also pushing for an upgrade on its infrastructure. One of the main infrastructure projects underway is the upgrading of the Yangon Circular Railway. Myanmar is also developing three Special Economic Zones to increase foreign direct investment into the country.
More recently, however, The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned that Myanmar’s economy “appears to be losing momentum”.
Nevertheless, with major plans for the future, Myanmar’s energy demands are expected to grow concurrently with its development. According to the Ministry of Electricity and Energy, energy demand is expected to increase at 15 percent annually, double that of the forecasted economic growth. Meanwhile, the Japanese International Co-operation Agency (JICA) – Myanmar’s largest source of official development assistance (ODA) – is expecting demand for electricity to multiply fivefold to 15 gigawatts (GW) by 2030..."

"Myanmar’s launch of its first commercial solar plant last month is a step in the right direction for a country that has yet to provide more than half of its citizens with proper access to electricity.
Constructed on over 836 acres of land, an area equivalent to almost 530 football fields, the Minbu Solar Power Plant will be ASEAN’s largest solar power plant according to Thailand’s META Corporation – the project’s contractor and developer.
Although the project has been hailed as ground-breaking, there is still a long way to go before Myanmar achieves its goal of 100 percent electrification by 2030. The power plant will have a total capacity of 170 megawatts (MW) and is capable of producing 350 million kilowatt hours (kWh) annually, electrifying about 210,000 households. Constructed in four stages, the completion of the plant’s first stage now allows it to produce up to 40 MW of electricity..."

Description:
"Myanmar is a unique country where the majority of the people live in rural areas, away from grid
electricity and reliable water supplies. The penetration of grid electricity in rural areas is minimal and
even then it is often erratic. This paper focuses on the challenges of transitioning from an electricitypoor country to a renewable energy based-economy augmented with photovoltaics (PV). Based on
optimization modelling and assessments of Myanmar’s current energy barriers, we examine the
feasibility of PV-powered desalination systems for the Ayeyarwady region and Tanintharyi region. An
analysis of the technical and economic feasibility of a stand-alone solar-powered desalination system
indicates that the needed price of water for economic sustainability should be approximately
US$0.0224/litre. From our economic modelling, we found that the major capital cost is the
installation of PV and maintenance. The major operating cost is maintenance of batteries. Minor
operating costs are membrane replacement and PV maintenance. The country’s limited capital
inhibits the creation of these systems, and foreign investment or incentives from international
financial institutions will be needed to secure off-grid, clean energy solutions for Myanmar..."

awareness among communities in Karen and Mon States about the current energy situation in Myanmar, and
the effects the government?s proposed plans have on the land, health and human rights of the communities.
Information in this brochure will hopefully provide communities with knowledge and awareness of the different
existing options to access electricity and should be considered a complement to larger campaigns against
harmful development projects, such as mega hydropower dams, special economic zones, and gas- and coal
fired power plants. The brochure gives a brief overview of alternative energy forms. It is not intended to
provide the reader with a detailed description of how these alternative energy forms function or how they
can be installed
The questions in the end of this brochure can serve as guidance when initiating a discussion with communities
about their electricity situation. First of all it is important to establish whether or not the community have
access to electricity or not. That question will lead in to what sort of electricity currently is available in the
local area, which will open up a chance to discuss the differences between electricity coming from the national
grid system and a locally distributed energy system. A community energy audit should be conducted to explore
how much of communities income today is spent on energy and what energy they use. Follow up with an
