The Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA), together with the Ministry of Electricity and Energy of the Union of Myanmar, launched Myanmar National Energy Statistics 2019 in Nay Pyi Taw on 11 March 2019.
in his presentation, Mr Shigeru Kimura, ERIA’s Special Adviser to the President on Energy Affairs, discussed the basic concept of energy balance tables, analysis of the energy demand supply situation in Myanmar, as well as the key findings and policy implications of the study.

• Final Energy Consumption
Total final energy consumption increased 3.2% P.A. from 2000 to 2016. Coal marked highest
growth rate at 12.8% in the same period, followed by electricity (10.2%), petroleum
products (6.2%) and biomass (1.7%). Consequently biomass share surely declined from 75%
to 58%. On the other hand, electricity share increased from 3% to 9%. Petroleum products
kept 2nd largest share of TFEC and it share increased from 17% in 2000 to 27% in 2016.

Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• Petroleum Products (Import)
Looking at each petroleum products, gasoline rapidly increased about 4 times from
2000 to 2016, followed by jet fuel, LPG and diesel oil. Growth of gasoline, jet fuel and
LPG was much higher than total petroleum product. But a major petroleum product
should be diesel oil (its hare was 51% in 2016), followed by gasoline and other
petroleum products which consist of lubricants mainly.

Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• Power Generation
Major power generation source in Myanmar is hydro power, followed by gas power. Share of both
power plants was almost 100% except year 2004-2012 due to coal power generation. But their
thermal efficiencies were quite low (15-35%). Installation of CCGT and CCT will be one of options to
improve the thermal efficiencies. CCGT has another effect to save gas consumption for power
generation and allocate the saved gas to export.

Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• Primary Energy Supply
Primary energy supply defines as energy requirement of Myanmar. Myanmar still
depended on biomass even in 2016, followed by oil and gas. But coal and hydropower
marked highest growth rates (12% P.A). Consequently biomass share declined from
68% to 49% from 2000 to 2016. On the other hand, gas increased from 13% to 20% as
well as petroleum products from 17% to 25% in the same period.

Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• Primary Energy Supply
Oil marked highest growth at 2,739 ktoe from 2010 to 2016, followed by gas 2,282, biomass 2,081 and
coal 354. Import dependency defined as import energy / TPES, which consists of petroleum products and
coal showed down uptrend in 2000-2009 but it went up highly in 2010-2016. It seems to be related with
increase of foreign investment due to the political change.

Relation between TPES and CO2
TPES CO2
Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• CO2 Emissions
CO2 emissions increased following to growth of TPES from 2000 to
2016 but after 2015, increase of CO2 emissions were higher than
TPES due to increase of fossil fuel consumption in across the
sectors. Looking at CO2/TPES which shows CO2 weight per energy
consumption, it showed similar trend of CO2 emissions. CO2
emissions come from fossil fuel, then share of fossil fuel is checked.
Its share has been increasing year by year and it reached to more
than 45% in 2015.

Comparison of TPES, CO2, GDP and Population
TPES CO2 GDP Population
Analysis of Energy Demand Supply Situation
• Energy Indicators
Energy consumption increased gradually not same as GDP in 2000-2016 but CO2 emissions jumped up in 2015 due to
different energy mix compared to 2014. The intensities such as TEPS/GDP and CO2/GDP were improved from 2000 to
2009 but they showed almost flat after 2010. On the other hand, TPES/capita and CO2 /capita increased gradually.
Looking at the elasticity defined as growth rate of TPES / growth rate of GDP, it was lower than 1 in 2000-2016. But it
became bigger year by year and it almost reached to 0.6 in 2010-2016. Biomass surely contributed why the elasticity
was less than 1.

Elasticity
20. Key Findings and Policy Implications
• Key Findings
– Total final energy consumption increased around 3.2% P.A in last
16 years and the elasticity was 0.32 in the same time.
– Myanmar largely depends on biomass and petroleum products
in final consumption sector but electricity grew rapidly around
10% P.A. and it consumed across the sectors except transport
sector.
– By sector, industry sector marked highest share (37% in 2016),
followed by residential (28%) and commercial (19%).
– For looking each petroleum product, all petroleum products
showed uptrend but gasoline marked significant increase (less
than 4 times) from 2000 to 2016. In term of share, diesel oil
reached 51% in 2016, followed by gasoline.
21. Key Findings and Policy Implications
• Key Findings
– Hydro and gas power generations have been major sources in
Myanmar and the generated electricity has been consumed across the
sectors. From 2013, Myanmar started electricity export to neighboring
countries.
– Share of gas power generation in 2016 was 40% and on the other
hand, hydro power was 60%.
– At primary energy supply level, biomass is still most dominant energy
in Myanmar, followed by petroleum products and gas.
– Import dependency of energy in Myanmar, however, gradually went
up after 2010 and it was still around 13% in 2016.
– CO2 emissions gradually increased same as TPES. In 2015, CO2 jumped
up due to increase of fossil fuels.
22. Key Findings and Policy Implications
• Key Findings
– Energy intensity was improved from 2000 to 2009
but after 2009, it was almost flat.
– Energy elasticity was lower than 1.0 from 2000
top 2016. But it increased year by year due to
significant increase of electricity, petroleum
products and gas in the same time.
23. Key Findings and Policy Implications
• Policy Implications
– Myanmar has huge potential to shift from biomass to conventional energy
such as petroleum products and electricity due to its high economic
growth perspective reported by regional and international economic
organization such as IMF.
– Myanmar has also large potential on energy demand in industry sector
due to its industrialization planning. Manufacturing sector will need more
electricity, petroleum products and gas.
– Petroleum products will depend import continuously and it brings two
issues in Myanmar; a. vulnerable oil supply, b. outflow of national wealth.
– Consequently following policy implications are recommended;
• Promotion of energy efficiency to across all the final sectors
• Development of domestic energy such as natural gas and hydro power generation
• Hydro and biomass power generation will also contribute to lower carbon emissions
• Pay attention to oil supply security such as; a. stockpiling, b. emergency response and
preparedness, c. formulate NESO (National Emergency Strategy Organization)
24. Conclusion
• Continuation of Energy Statistics
– The 1st Myanmar National Energy Statistics 2019 has released today
and 2nd Myanmar Energy Statistics should be released late this year
continuously by OGPD, MOEE itself.
• Better data Better decision
– On the other hand, quality of Myanmar National Energy Statistics
especially primary energy data, will be improved through enhancing
energy data collection both supply and demand sides.
• Human Resources
– Professional energy statisticians will be needed. Capacity building
trainings on energy statistics to be conducted by international
organizations and OECD countries are good opportunities for staff of
OGPD, MOEE to increase their capacity on energy statistics.
• Network of inter-Ministries
– Collaborative network among Ministries in Myanmar is recommended
to set up. The network talks and shares energy data as well as energy
related data among the Ministries. The network surely contributes to
produce energy efficiency indicators.
