InfraCo Asia and developer team Infra Capital Myanmar (ICM) brought together the Minister of Electricity and Energy U Win Khaing and British Ambassador to Myanmar Daniel Chugg last week, to present updates on Myanmar’s first wind power projects.

The leaders met in the ministry office in Nay Pyi Taw to discuss progress on InfraCo Asia’s pioneering wind power projects in the Magway region and the UK Government’s support, through its Department for International Development (DFID), for the development of Myanmar’s renewables sector.

ICM and InfraCo Asia brought a Myanmar delegation to the Salkhit wind farm in Mongolia. The wind power project was developed by Newcom Group who pioneered wind energy in Mongolia. The study tour with the Myanmar delegation allowed to better understand the wind power generation and its benefits. What an insightful and fruitful mission! Thank you TAF and DFID for sponsoring this trip.

We are excited to work with our partners on the development and construction of two micro-grid pilot projects in . The two pilots aim to establish the commercial viability of the Anchor-Business-Community model of off-grid electrification, energizing a telecom tower (Anchor), local businesses (Business) and public utilities (Community) respectively. The first Pilot, in Magway region will give affordable and reliable energy access to 1100 people in the rural area. If successful, the model can be replicated across 200 off-grid communities in Myanmar.
