Nyaungshwe township in southern Shan State is in dire need of clean, adequate energy. Households in Nyaungshwe make use of solar home systems for lighting and charging electronic devices, but cooking is heavily dependent on firewood gathered from nearby forests and energy supply is inadequate. This energy scarcity not only makes daily life difficult but stifles economic development in the township.
