With the new government taking the leadership, Myanmar is embarking on a brand-new journey to prosperity. As Asia’s last frontier of development, Myanmar is in dire need of power to drive its economic growth. Currently, Myanmar only has about 4.5 G installed power capacity, most of which (67%) are from its Hydropower and natural gas (27%) power plants and only 33% of its citizens have access to electricity. According to the government plan, Myanmar needs to build 41 power plants to meet the nation’s spurring power demand.
