Myanmar — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 110 energy assets in Myanmar across 10 layers — the 58th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 60 power plants, 21 cement plants and 7 LNG terminals. Operating generation capacity is 5.4 GW, led by gas at 51%. Refining capacity is about 28 kb/d.

The companies named on the most assets are PTT Exploration and Production (6), Electric Power Generation Enterprise (5) and International Group of Entrepreneurs Company (IGOEC) Myanmar (5), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Myanmar's mapped assets in service predate 2013 (median commissioning year of the 49 with a known date), 14 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Thayet Cement Plant, dating from 1937. 39 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Laza hydroelectric plant (1.9 GW).
