Myanmar Green Energy Summit 17-19 August

According to Summit organisers, Myanmar’s official electrification rate is at 13 percent and close to 95% of households depend on solid fuels for cooking and heating. The national power grid network covers only 7 percent of the country, meaning millions of people are deprived of access to electricity services.”
