The military junta in #Myanmar plans to procure a small #nuclear reactor from #Russia.
I would be surprised if nuclear safety and non-proliferation concerns caused any delays in this partnership.

Biogas for 2,050 €/kg

This #EnergyCrisis will boost #PositiveEnergyDistricts and #Prosumers.
People will buy excess heat and power from neighbors rather than utilities they can`t trust.
Once #energyCommunities laws are in place, utilities will lose monopoly and struggle.

With every weather forecast, we should also be informed on day-ahead power prices

After shower, wiping the floor & wall with a rubber squeegee instead of evaporating the water with floor heating can save 0,1 kWh in just a few seconds.

It is both fair and more incentivising that reducing indoor temperatures by 2-3 °C is rewarded with lower heating bills.
But Finland lobbied against measuring apartment-specific heat consumption in multi-family residential buildings. Heat was considered too cheap to meter.

Jos jostain pitäisi ALV poistaa niin #aurinkosähkö -laitteista. #Sähköhinta on vielä keväälläkin korkea, ja korkeimmillaan keskipäivisin.

#Energiatransitio´on käytetään paljon julkisia varoja, joista kotitaloudetkin ansaitsevat osansa.

My work on climate & energy development in Myanmar became extremely complicated because of the military coup. I have now returned to @Ulkoministerio in Helsinki, working as adviser for energy sector development interventions, the same position I held until 2019.

High fuel price in Myanmar increases demand for #bicycles. Imported Japanese 2nd hand cycles are popular, as they are more durable than Chinese. Compared to Thailand, there are lots of electric bicycles as prices are affordable (under 200€).

Hydro power plants, even small ones, should have proper environmental & social impact assessments done and consult local communities for free, prior and informed consent. Dams can have devastating effects on river ecology and local livelihoods.

#Myanmar and #Rosatom discuss ’production of equipment using Russia’s #nuclear energy technology’
Meaning what? Even basic solar tenders keep failing in Myanmar, so please not a nuclear reactor again! Tracing or medical isotopes?

Couldn't agree more with Guterres:
-Enduring power imbalances and patriarchy continue to fail us
-Women's right to equal participation at all levels is essential for building and maintaining peace
-Misogyny and authoritarianism are mutually reinforcing

Thailand increases electricity tariffs from 3,5 to 4 THB (9,4 to 10,7 €-cnt) per kWh due to higher LNG costs. 20bn THB (530 M€) are used monthly to subsidise electricity, 10% of which is generated by gas from Myanmar, enriching the military junta.

Electricity bills to surge as power tariff hits all-time high
Thais face pricier electricity bills, with the power tariff increasing to a record high of 4.4 baht per kilowatt-hour (unit) between September and December, says the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).

After leaving the Yadana gas project in Myanmar, TotalEnergies expect to develop 50 GW renewables in Asia by 2030. Targeting B2B customers, captive #RooftopSolar is cheaper, cleaner and more reliable than grid power without subsidies

The 29 successful bids in #Myanmar 2020 #solarPower auction were supposed to deliver 1GWp much-needed power for less than 5 cents/kWh.
After the coup only 3 are making progress. Others refuse to sign PPAs and project developers are now blacklisted.

New transmission lines between Myanmar and China could add pressure to build mega-dams on Irrawaddy and Salween rivers, currently free-flowing but with combined hydro power potential of 90GW.
