Project overview

Myanmar has a population of about 51.4 million, 70% of which are rural residents, and 84% of rural households are located in areas without electricity. The annual electricity demand and consumption of residents are growing rapidly. At the same time, due to the heavy dependence on seasonal hydropower generation, the existing power generation system cannot meet the peak demand in the dry season. Although the gas power generation in Myanmar has increased slightly in recent years, the reliability and coverage of the overall power supply are still low. Power shortage and power interruption are the main problems in Myanmar.

At the same time, power shortage limits the economic development of Myanmar, and the basic life of the people cannot be better improved.

SINOSOAR adheres to the corporate mission of “Power the World with Hybrid Energy” and actively take part in “Myanmar National Electrification Project”. Since 2016, SINOSOAR has been serving Myanmar off-grid project. In 2019, SINOSOAR has completed the DRD-1 Project for design, supply, installation of 72,411 sets of systems and the user training.

This project has brought lights for nearly 1,000 villages and 130,000 households, it will help them to light their house in the dark night, charge mobile phone and watch TV. SINOSOAR’s work has been highly recognized by the Myanmar government.
After the completion of installation, SINOSOAR set up 20 maintenance stations around Myanmar to continue supplying high quality service, and it will also provide many job positions for local people.
