Myanmar has a major electrification challenge… The electrification rate 29%. . . 43 million out of 60 million people have no access. . . Most of these 43 million people live in rural areas 15 million are less than 14 years old …and nearly 3
. . and the challenge is significant … New household connections per year Need to connect close to 4 x as many households per year to reach universal access by 2030 ESE YESB Required 189, 000 Source: MOEP, ESE, YESB data and Castalia estimations Assumes 6. 5 people in a household 4
. . but lessons on institutional frameworks from other countries could help Myanmar 1. Responsibilities for service delivery need to be separated from policy setting, planning and regulation 2. Countries with an entity assigned and funded to expand access to electricity have achieved good results 3. Commercial viability of the utility or service delivery agents is key to sustainability 4. Significant increases in access to electricity requires support of public funds 5. Private sector can play a useful role by bringing innovation and capital—but will need incentives to focus in less profitable areas 5

Points for discussion § Which entity or entities will manage the implementation of the National Electrification Plan? § What are the roles and responsibilities for different agencies for: Adopting electrification plans? Setting the electrification policy and regulations? Monitoring and updating electrification plans? Coordinating and harmonizing on grid and off grid programs? § What would be suitable business models for engaging the private sector? 12
