HOUSE OF THE WEEK
An abundance of space at FMI City

THE FIRST annual Renewable Energy Business Forum was held on December 14 in Yangon. The forum marked the first step in promoting awareness about renewable energy and energy efficiency in Myanmar, according to its organisers.
The forum objectives included: forming focal points for renewable energy, facilitating dialogue on the challenges and opportunities in private sector renewable energy businesses, sharing knowledge and experience between the government and private organisations, participating with international corporations for new technology development.
The inaugural forum was hosted by two-time ASEAN Energy Award-winning Kaung Kyaw Say Engineering Company. The award-winning reports written by chairman and CEO U Htun Naing Aung dealt with a mini-hydropower project in Ayeyarwaddy Division, and rice husk gasifiers as electricity sources in rural areas near Ngapali Beach. Nine further papers related to renewable energy were read out at the forum.
The next Renewable Energy Business Forum is scheduled for May 2010, according to organisers.
