Electricity to Transform Rural Myanmar
September 23 2015
84% of households in rural Myanmar have no electricity connection, creating hardship, perpetuating poverty, and stalling development.
The Government of Myanmar, with the help of the World Bank, has developed a National Electrification Plan that calls for universal electricity access by 2030, or 7.2 million new connections.
The National Electrification Plan will get off the ground with $400 million in funds from the World Bank’s International Development Association, which is expected to bring electricity to over six million people by 2021 and mobilize further investments.
