Core Viewpoint - Myanmar views China as its primary partner in the electricity sector, with approximately 70% of investments in cross-border electricity cooperation projects coming from China, making the China-Myanmar cooperation a core driver for energy security and structural transformation in Myanmar's electricity supply [2][6]. Group 1: Current State of Myanmar's Electricity Sector - As of September 2023, Myanmar's total installed capacity reached 6,357 megawatts, with hydropower accounting for 51%, natural gas for 40%, and solar power for about 3% [4]. - The main transmission voltage remains stable at 230 kV, with a 500 kV transmission line connecting central and southern regions completed, although supporting substations will not be finished until next year [4]. - Myanmar's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) plan aims to increase the share of non-hydropower renewable energy to 11% by 2030, with a target installed capacity of 2,000 megawatts, potentially rising to 17% and over 3,000 megawatts with sufficient international support [4]. Group 2: Future Development Plans - Myanmar is advancing its development plan for 2026-2045, focusing on deepening cooperation with China in hydropower, solar, and wind energy, while enhancing transmission and distribution systems [2][5]. - The cooperation will focus on four key areas: upgrading hydropower, developing ground and floating solar, and establishing onshore and offshore wind energy, all aimed at ensuring stable and reliable electricity supply [7]. - The long-term plan emphasizes the importance of international collaboration, particularly with China, to optimize energy resource allocation and support economic development [5][7].

新华社万象9月18日电 首届老中电力技术论坛18日在老挝首都万象纳塞通变电站举办，旨在深化中老电 力合作，服务老挝能源战略转型。 论坛倡议"技术共享、人才共育、惠民联心"。技术共享方面，依托中方成熟经验，推动超高压输电、智 能配网等技术与标准落地；人才共育方面，建立电网规划、调度、运检等标准化课程体系，持续扩大老 挝技术骨干培训规模；惠民联心方面，深入推进万象及中老铁路供电可靠性提升、配电网降损建设，探 索电力应急联动机制，以公益项目深化中老友谊。 据论坛主办方老挝国家输电网公司介绍，通过借鉴中国南方电网有限责任公司经验，老挝主网升级成效 显著。 老挝政企界代表以及多家中国电力科研院所、技术服务供应商代表出席论坛。中方代表展示了在输变电 智能巡检、在线监测、卫星通信等领域的先进技术与解决方案，为深化区域能源互联互通提供坚实的技 术与服务支撑。（记者马淮钊 赵旭） ...
