Burmese Vice- President Nyan Htun has raised concerns about energy consumption in Burma.

At the National Energy Management Committee meeting in Naypyidaw on Tuesday, he pointed out that Burma still derives 76 percent of its energy from non-renewable resources such as wood and charcoal.

The vice-president added that Burma’s energy consumption is much less when compared to neighbouring countries. This, he said, is indicative of the poverty existing within the country.
