Myanmar’s Union Minister for Electric Power and Energy, U Ko Ko Lwin, has proposed sending trainees to China’s waste-to-energy facilities and inviting Chinese experts to Myanmar for on-site studies and technical cooperation.

During a visit on April 18 to the GRANDTOP Fushan Circular Economic Industrial Park in Guangzhou, the delegation reviewed waste sorting, power generation processes, and electricity distribution to the national grid. The Chinese company agreed to cooperate on training and technical support.

The Guangzhou plant—China’s largest of its kind—processes about 9,300 tons of waste daily and generates over 1.2 billion kWh of electricity annually.

Earlier, on April 17, the delegation visited Russia’s national power system operator in Moscow, where they studied digital grid management and energy mix optimization. Myanmar officials expressed interest in adopting similar technologies to improve efficiency, reduce losses, and lower electricity costs, with Russia offering technical assistance and training programs.
