DEPARTMENT of Power Transmission and System Control (DPTSC) under the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MOEE) will host a workshop on Electricity Generation using solar energy that is scheduled to be held in the first week of July.
Although Myanmar has abundant solar resources, the amount of electricity generated and utilized from solar energy remains low. The ministry is promoting increased electricity generation from solar energy through integrating solar systems into the national power grid at an appropriate ratio and promoting the installation and use of solar systems by individuals or groups.
The ministry states that addressing technical limitations and management challenges encountered in these efforts will bring about effective measures and quick implementation of the projects.
The ministry is planning to host a comprehensive workshop during the first week of July 2026 to significantly scale up the contribution of solar power to the nation’s electricity consumption. Experts in solar technology, battery technology, and solar power systems, entrepreneurs, representatives from relevant organizations, students and interested individuals are invited to attend and engage in discussions.
Individuals wishing to present topics for discussion can contact Director U Myo Thant Tun of the department at 09 4316690 or 067 3410471. — NN/KK
