With hydropower providing 80% of its electricity, Thimphu's facing a modern dilemma: how to store surplus monsoon energy for dry winters. The Thimphu Power Storage initiative, launched in 2023, aims to solve this through cutting-edge battery systems. But wait, isn't Bhutan already carbon-negative?What are the policies governing the energy sector in Bhutan?1.8 The energy sector was governed by several policies, such as the Bhutan Sustainable Hydropower Development Policy-2021, Alternative Renewable Energy Policy-2013, Domestic Electricity Tariff Policy-2016 and National Energy Eficiency & Conservation Policy-2019.
What is Bhutan's integrated energy strategy?The objectives driving this integrated strategy are clear: Guarantee long-term energy security; fuel sustainable socio-economic growth; enhance resilience against climate change; ensure continued access to reliable and competitive energy; and position Bhutan in the forefront of clean energy development.
Does Bhutan need long-term energy security?With growing demand, where the peak power demand has outpaced firm power supply by 125% in 2024 which is expected to increase further, securing the country’s long-term energy security has become ever more a priority. For Bhutan, long-term energy security means meeting winter demands when our hydropower generation ebbs to the lowest.
Is hydropower the key to Bhutan's economic growth?Most of them are under study while 23 MW Sephu is under construction, 120 mw Jamjee is under the tender process along with the 8 MW solar rooftop. The 13th Five Year Plan document says as a strategic national resource and primary revenue generator, hydropower stands as a cornerstone of Bhutan’s economic growth.
What are the requirements for land acquisition & leasing in Bhutan?The land acquisition and leasing shall be carried out in accordance with the Land Act of Bhutan 2007 and its regulations and guidelines, as may be amended from time to time. 8.2 In case of the private land required for Renewable Energy project, the DoE will facilitate its acquisition and conversion to S
