As part of efforts to significantly increase the contribution of solar power systems in the country’s electricity consumption sector, the Ministry of Electricity and Energy will organize a workshop on the generation and use of solar energy-based electricity. The workshop will take place in the first week of July 2026. The ministry has extended invitation to those wishing to participate in discussions.
Myanmar is a country that is rich in solar energy resources; however, according to the ministry’s statement, the current level of electricity generation and utilization from solar energy sources remains low.
As such, the ministry is implementing measures to increase electricity generation from solar power by integrating an appropriate proportion of solar power systems into the national grid, as well as encouraging and supporting the installation and use of solar systems — whether individually or in groups — based on their own initiatives.
Experts and entrepreneurs from relevant sectors, as well as responsible officials from various organizations, students, and interested members of the public, have been invited to participate in and discuss the workshop, where they may exchange views and provide suggestions on solar technology, battery technology, and solar power systems. They can send the titles to be discussed to the Department of Electric Power Transmission and System Control, dialing 09-43016690 and 067-3410471.
The Ministry of Electricity and Energy launched the operations of two solar power plants in Mandalay Region on 29 April this year. The 40-megawatt Thazi Solar Power Plant located in Thazi Township, Meiktila District was constructed by Leader Power Co Ltd, and the 40-megawatt Thabyaywa Solar Power Plant in Meiktila Township by Hanzar Solar Energy Co Ltd.
The two power plants generate about 202 million kilowatt-hours annually and supply electricity to around 130,000 households. Moreover, a 210-megawatt solar power project built by Shwe Swan Inn Company Limited is under construction.
