• Myanmar’s land area of 676,577 square kilometres
makes it the largest country on mainland Southeast
Asia, with a total coastline of 2832 km.
• We have the world’s 25th largest arable land area.
• We have the highest level of available renewable water
resources in Asia, with 95% of water resources
available for hydro-power.
• We have more than10 times the renewable freshwater
resources per-capita of India and over 15 times more
than China.
• We are a country rich in a diversity of renewable and
non-renewable natural resources.

• 34% of of people have access to
electricity through the grid, falling to 16%
in rural areas.
• Almost entire rural population relies on
firewood for cooking, a major driver of
deforestation.
• Myanmar has third highest deforestation
rate in the world.
• Decreasing cost of renewable energy
could enable local production and link
rural areas to the grid.
• Myanmar looking to increase share of
renewable energy sources to attract FDI.
• If used well, Myanmar’s large endowments of
renewable natural resources can support sustainable
and diversified development.
• However, we will require international partnerships (with
both the private sector and development partners) to
help define our environmental and social standards and
improve our capacity to manage these resources
sustainably.
• Without such support, we risk the adverse social
impacts and ecosystem degradation (including
deforestation and water and air pollution).

Enhance the promotion
of energy conservation
through access to
affordable and renewable
energy, particularly in off-
grid local communities.
Encourage Myanmar’s
small-to-medium
enterprises to engage in
renewable energy
production (e.g hydro-
power energy, tidal
energy, biomass, wind
energy and solar energy).
