According to the Yangon Region Kayin Ethnic Affairs Minister Naw Pan Thinzar Myo, China will not answer Myanmar's energy needs.
“Before the next year, how are we going to solve the issue of being able to provide only a third of the electricity required? This year there was an understanding because we just came to power but that will not last until next year. We will not build the entire infrastructure in one year. Gas is important for producing electricity. By 2027 or 2029, gas will run out and reserves have been falling since 2015. Gas is being sold to China and Thailand. The Chinese will only sell us back electricity generated from our gas,” said the minister.
Currently, businesses in industrial zones have reported that due to insufficient and irregular supplies, they have to resort to other means at considerable expense. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
