• Vision Statement
– The Energy Policy outlines the following goals – “energy security”, “affordable and
reliable energy supply”; poverty reduction”; “increase foreign exchange earnings”
– EE&C can address the goals by:
• Reducing national energy demand through DSM programs
– Promoting high efficiency appliances
– Promoting fuel switching to renewable resources – electric hot water to solar systems
– Adoption of efficient cooking methods – fuel efficient stoves, LPG
• Core Values of Energy Efficiency
– Economic value – increased competitiveness in Industrial sector through adoption
of efficient technologies lower production costs increase turn-over
lower prices for end-users
– Social Values – improved living standards of consumers through the adoption of
EE technologies (lighting, refrigeration, cooling, cooking etc) lower bills
higher disposable income
– Environmental Values – reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from power
plants, industrial processes and biomass in households preservation of natural
forest resources in Myanmar
