With solar power supported by Smart Power Myanmar, Triple Three now has reliable energy to power its plastic bag weaving machines and is saving thousands of dollars on energy costs.
Every megawatt-hour carries two things of value: the power itself and the environmental claim behind it. I-REC(E)s allow renewable energy producers to increase revenue by selling those environmental claims while retaining the electricity itself — improving financial bottom lines, protecting jobs, and unlocking new partnerships with local and international buyers.
"Because of solar energy, I was able to hold my baby." Following the March 28 earthquake, nearly 200 health facilities across Myanmar were damaged. SPM partnered with the Myanmar Maternal and Child Welfare Association to install emergency solar systems in two maternity clinics — keeping the lights on, the equipment running, and saving lives.
How exactly do I-REC(E)s work? Put simply: they separate the environmental claim of renewable energy from the actual electricity. Each certificate represents 1MWh of renewable generation — giving producers additional revenue and giving buyers a credible, internationally recognised way to make renewable energy claims.
We've launched our new I-REC(E) website! As Myanmar's hub for renewable energy certificates, the site gives businesses the information and tools needed to register and begin issuing and selling I-REC(E)s. For facilities planning to issue certificates for electricity generated between January and June 2025, the facility registration deadline is 2 May 2026.
Despite the immense savings from solar energy, banks are critical to financing renewables — solar growth depends on them. We're thrilled to have delivered our 'banking for solar energy' intro course to CB Bank PCL, covering solar foundations, financing structures, risk management, and the role of I-REC(E)s as an additional source of value and revenue.
