Promoting renewable energy for a clean and sustainable future

The pilot grid-tied solar project at the UN House will demonstrate solar as a reliable energy source and serve as a key driver of energy source diversification in Bhutan. The UN House in Thimphu inaugurated its 83 KW grid connected rooftop solar, a first of its kind in Bhutan, and the 20 KW solar-thermal space heating projects on 8 March 2021.

Bhutan is tapping into solar energy with its first grid-tied solar

First-of-its-kind solar power plant in Bhutan. The 180kW solar power plant is a first of its kind in the country and since its commissioning has been generating and feeding electricity into the local grid for distribution.

The Kingdom of Bhutan: Rural Renewable Energy

require off-grid solutions. Despite Bhutan''s annual net power surplus, the country power had shortages, particularly during dry winters when hydropower generation was less due to low river flows. Domestic demand for electricity grew at an average annual rate of 17% from 2004 to 2009

Bhutan: Supporting reliable, green energy for communities

The first-ever EIB project in Bhutan, one of just three net carbon-negative countries in the world, supports new solar photovoltaic and hydropower schemes under the EU''s Global Gateway initiative. The 30-year loan for €150 million will unlock an estimated 310 MW of new renewable energy generation to serve communities in remote regions.

6 FAQs about [Bhutan home solar power bank]

Can solar power plants help Bhutan achieve energy security?

The Solar Plant in Rubesa is one such initiative that takes Bhutan a step closer to achieving energy security through a diversified and sustainable energy supply mix. The project particularly demonstrates the viability of solar power plants on a utility-scale.

Why should Bhutan invest in solar power?

Like hydropower, sun is a bountiful resource Bhutan can tap into for producing renewable energy in keeping with our carbon neutrality commitments and also for enhancing energy security through diversification of energy sources. The commissioning and inauguration of the 180kW grid-tied ground mounted solar photo-voltaic power plant

Is grid-tied solar a viable alternative energy source in Bhutan?

The commissioning and inauguration of the 180kW grid-tied ground mounted solar photo-voltaic power plant marks the start of Bhutan’s investment in grid-tied solar energy as a viable alternative energy source in the face of soaring domestic demand and climate change.

Can a solar power plant boost hydropower supply in Bhutan?

"Solar plant such as this can augment hydropower supply to meet our rapidly increasing domestic electricity demand, especially in winter months," he said. Electricity in Bhutan is mostly generated from hydropower, a renewable energy source, unlike fossil-fuel driven power plants that are major contributors to carbon dioxide emissions worldwide.

Is solar a reliable energy source in Bhutan?
