Cooperation for Energy Sector : Myanmar delegation tours to Russia and China

A Myanmar delegation led by the Union Minister for Electricity and Energy U Ko Ko Lwin visited Russia and China to study power system and waste-to-energy technologies.

In Moscow, the delegation observed Russia’s national power control system, which uses a digital system to manage electricity generation and distribution efficiently and reduce costs. The Union Minister said Myanmar plans to develop a power control system and asked for technical cooperation, including expert support and training.

Russia agreed to send a technical team and provide training assistance. In Guangzhou, China, the delegation visited a large waste-to-energy industrial park that converts municipal waste into electricity. Officials explained the full process from waste sorting and treatment to power generation and supply to the national grid.

The Chinese facility is one of the largest of its kind, processing millions of tons of waste annually and generating over 1.2 billion units of electricity per year. Myanmar asked for technical cooperation and training support, which the Chinese side agreed to consider.
