The target audiences are Governments, Private sectors and Policy makers particularly in Low Income Countries. The resource provides information of renewable energy as the ideal source to provide energy security in long term and the possible financing and development stages required to launch the project in a country successfully and sustainable. The reasons are energy security, growth of social economy, reduce pollution to preserve the climate, and promote good governance in lowering poverty and share prosperity across the country.

2. Issues
 Electricity access is not available
across the country especially in rural
area.
 People has too low income to pay for
the electricity.
 Lack of electricity infrastructure in
many areas.
 The existing electrical power is not
enough to supply the demand.
 The country does not have financing
capability to build the electricity
infrastructure and new power plants.
 There is no regulation or policy that
support private sectors participation
in providing electrical power to the
country which make investments is
uncertain and risky.

3. Why Renewable Energy
 Inline with United Nation SDG no 7,
it is affordable, clean and transform
the world with modern energy
sources.
 Reduce CO2 emissions and prevent
climate change
 Builds economy and job market.
New opportunities in service
industries and supply chain market.
Increasing income and transform
lives.
 Energy security (Provide enough
energy source across the nation in
the long run, it is naturally replenish)
(reference : http://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/energy/)

4. The challenges
 Lack of Infrastructure and inefficient Power
plants & Transmission Grid
 Need Government involvement in creating
energy policy to attract investment of private
sectors
 Need Local Government involvement in
reinforcing regulation of the electricity use in
community and promoting public awareness of
the available renewable power resource .
 The Increasing demand of skill workers and engineers in service
industry to support the renewable energy systems installation service
and repair means that educational sectors need to transform the
curriculum to produce the skill workers and to align with the National
Electricity Plan.
 Government shall provide financial assist and guarantee to attract
investment from private sectors. Government need a long term financial
plan that has to be free from political economy situation and stable to
pay back the concessional loan.

5. The objectives & benefit
 Private sectors :
 Guarantee return of investment
with possible profit.
 Minimal Risk. (Enforced by
Government regulations)
 New market in renewable energy
business.
 Exposed to new technology which
create opportunities in the future
(diversification).

6. The objectives & benefit
 Public sectors :
 Improvement of life quality
(health, education and
increasing income).
 Having good governance
policy & ractices and efficient
expenditures in energy cost.
 Increase awareness of green
energy resources and reduce
pollution to preserve climate.

7. The objectives & benefit
 Country :
 Lowering poverty & sharing prosperity which is inline with SDG 1 (No
Poverty)
 Increase of Tax to GDP ratio, Social Economy and Political stability which
is inline with SDG 10 (Reduce Inequalities)
 Achieve energy security for the future with clean and sustainable modern
rnergy which is inline with SDG 12 (responsible consumption and
production) and SDG 13 (Climate action)
 Growth in social and economy (develop country status to MIC)

8. Example case (Myanmar)
 In 2016 only 3.7 millions of
households (34%) has access to
electricity in Myanmar
 Electricity demands increases about
300MW (15%) yearly in Myanmar
 The country is reach with
hydropower resources as the source
of renewable and clean energy
(produce 58.85% of the total
electricity)
 The country use National budget,
International loans and cooperation
with local and foreign companies as
strategic ways for power generation

9. The investment opportunities
 Build new power plants to increase the
capacity up to the demand.
 Build the infrastructures of electrical
transmission and grid system to extend
the coverage of the existing.
 Build off grid system for the community
who lives in location that are difficult or
not economical to get electricity from
the existing grid.
 Build supply chain market to provide
components and equipments to
support the renewable energy projects.
 Build schools or training centers to
create skill workers in renewable
energy installation, service and repair
industries

10. The planning
 Initial Stages : Create a project
to get the accurate data of :
country demographic, number of
households, existing electrical
power capacity, required
additional power capacity,
renewable energy sources that is
available in the country, budgetary
financial requirement to build the
renewable energy system and
create a National Plan to support
the project in achieving
sustainable result.

11. The planning
 Preparation Stage :
Government propose the
National Plan to World Bank
Group to get possible financing
by the IDA and/or other
financial institutions, also to
get assistance for the project
preparation, project monitoring
and project evaluation to make
sure that the result is
sustainable and in line with the
world bank twin goals and the
SDGs (goal 1, 7, 10, 12 and
13).

12. The Implementation
 IDA provide long term
concessional loan to the ILC
country to finance the project.
IDA to do project preparation,
project monitoring and project
evaluation.
 Government invites private
sectors to invest in the
renewable energy projects by
giving a clear regulation and
healthy business environment
to make sure that the return
and risk factor is favourable.
Divide the big project into
smaller ones that can be
financed with short term loan
from banks to attract interest
of domestic private sectors and
participate in the National
plan.

report/roles-resources

13. The Implementation
 A new electrical policy for renewable energy to be used
as the primary energy is announced and implemented.
Related Government Ministries and institutions to support
the policy by reinforcing rules and regulations in the
communities across the country.
 The SDG 7 to provide affordable and clean energy will lift
up the social economy condition in the country and
gradually increase the GDP and accelerate the growth of
the country. Government mobilize the domestic
resources and use domestic tax income as one of the
instruments to pay the long term concessional loan.

14. The projected result :
A good governance to achieve social economic growth that reduce poverty and
share prosperity, a clean and sustainable energy for the country to achieve
energy security and preserve the climate
