As part of its development plan 2013/2018, the Access to Energy branch of EDF has asked Sevea to conduct a preliminary study about 2 Asian countries, Myanmar and Nepal. During 2 months and for each one of these two countries, we analyzed and evaluated the energy context and the electricity sector with a focus on rural electrification; we identified potential partners and made some recommendations on potential rural electrification projects. Shortly after the transmission of our detailed report, EDF signified to us their entire satisfaction, as they were able to establish their 1st partnership in Myanmar according to our recommendations.
