Myanmar Energy Master Plan published in December 2015.

The Myanmar Energy Master Plan, prepared by the National Energy Management Committee of the Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar in December 2015, serves as a strategic framework requiring alignment across concerned Ministries for energy development based on fundamental economic needs. The plan's purpose is to secure a stable and reliable long-term energy supply through viable energy mix scenarios, ensure efficient use of energy resources, create an effective investment environment, employ innovative technologies, and minimize environmental and social impacts. It prioritizes the country's long-term benefit by ensuring sustainable energy sector development and environmental conservation, integrating Global and ASEAN commitments. The scope includes an economic outlook (GDP, population, trade, FDI), a historical energy balance (production, supply, consumption of solid fuels/coal, petroleum, natural gas, electricity, and biomass), and an inventory of energy resources (oil and natural gas reserves, production, infrastructure, and uses). The document outlines strategic goals and planning processes but, based on the provided excerpt, does not detail specific key obligations placed on entities, affected sectors beyond the energy industry itself and general energy consumers (like buildings, transport, agriculture), specific deadlines, or compliance dates. The primary regulation/statute name referenced is the 'Myanmar Energy Master Plan' itself.
