WWF Launches its Power Sector Vision for the Greater Mekong Subregion
WWF worked with Intelligent Energy Systems and partners across the region to develop the most ambitious and detailed analysis of the Greater Mekong Subregion's power sector vision to date. Based on detailed technical power systems modelling of the Greater Mekong subregion, IES developed a regional plan and specific country-level plans for Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. The power sector vision sets out sensible, cost-effective solutions to some of the region’s most taxing energy problems. The goal of the work was to spur a regional and global debate, as well as lead the way for concrete actions, leading to an achievable, affordable renewable energy future in the Greater Mekong.

In this edition of IES Insiders we consider what impact energy storage will have on the National Electricity Market (NEM) over the next fifteen years.
Insider 21: How will energy storage impact the National Electricity Market?
In this edition of IES Insiders we consider what impact energy storage will have on the National Electricity Market (NEM) over the next fifteen years. The focus of our analysis is on storage systems installed at residential and commercial premises. Take-up forecasts of energy storage are modelled in a wholesale market simulation tool. The results show the impacts that energy storage will have on wholesale prices, the generation mix, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Myanmar Energy Master Plan Launched in Nay Pyi Taw – 8 January 2016
IES is pleased to announce that on 8th January 2016, the Myanmar’s National Energy Management Committee (NEMC) officially launched the Myanmar Energy Master Plan at a ceremony at Hilton Hotel in Nay Pyi Taw, following an address by vice president U Nyan Tun.
Work on the Energy Master Plan, the product of work undertaken by IES in association with MMIC, commenced in 2014 under Technical Assistance to the Ministry of Energy under Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction administered by Asian Development Bank. The integrated plan sets out strategies to ensure a sustainable, affordable and secure supply of energy for Myanmar over the longer-term. These strategies take account of existing infrastructure, fuel supplies, availability of resources, competency in terms of technology and price, cooperation between the government, public and private sectors, environmental and social factors.
The government, ministries, international non-government organisations, private associations and the ADB collaborated to develop the Master Plan.
