Decentralizing Power: The Role of State and Region Governments in Myanmar’s Energy Sector
This report explores the role of Myanmar’s state and region governments in the development of the country’s energy sector, and how they can increase their agency in shaping their own and the nation’s energy future. It is a companion to the Asia Foundation’s October 2018 report, State and Region Governments in Myanmar, which examines the structure and execution of subnational governance and articulates needed reforms. Like that earlier effort, this report incorporates the views of state and region governments themselves on the challenges and opportunities presented by Myanmar’s evolving energy sector. Myanmar’s Union government has been gradually devolving legal and administrative powers to the states and regions since 2011, but these new powers often exist in an uncertain and untested relationship to the traditional powers and prerogatives of the central government. In the energy sector, the states and regions clearly have room to be more assertive in the areas of policy and planning; public consultation and permitting; management of the local (11 kV) electrical grid; off-grid energy, especially renewable energy mini-grids; and the promotion of private investment. This report describes how state and region governments are discharging their energy-sector responsibilities, and the extent to which existing policies and guidelines empower state/region officials to act to meet regional energy needs.
