Diversifying Bhutan''s energy sources by investing in renewable energy

Bhutan is soon to submit its own energy compact. For Bhutan to fully realize its renewable energy potential, it must have enabling policies that are forward thinking, encourage innovation, and provide fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for investing in renewable energy. Energy efficiency must also be greatly improved.

Bhutan''s Policy of Diversifying Renewable Energy Sources

The Bhutan Renewable Energy Master Plan estimates that the country could produce 12 gigawatts of solar and 760 megawatts of wind energy. Yet the country''s current installed capacity for renewables, apart from large hydro plants, only amounts to 9 megawatts. The country is piloting projects in solar, wind energy, biogas and small hydropower.

6 FAQs about [Bhutan is doing energy storage]

Why is energy important in Bhutan?

Should Bhutan diversify its energy sources?

In the face of climate change and the need for enhanced energy security, the business case for Bhutan to diversify its energy sources, especially by tapping into alternative renewable energy, is compelling. Bhutan is yet to realize its full potential in terms of renewable energy.

How much power does Bhutan have?

Bhutan’s installed power generation capacity is approximately 1.6 gigawatts (GW). Over 99 percent of the country's installed capacity comes from hydropower plants, accounting for 1,614 megawatts (MW) of the country’s total capacity of 1,623 MW in 2018. More than 99.97 percent of households have access to electricity.

Why does Bhutan still use fossil fuels?

This has helped shift fuel consumption for cooking, lighting, and heating away from biomass and fossil-based fuels to electricity. Yet approximately 70 percent of the energy demand in Bhutan continues to be met by fossil fuel and biomass, in large part because the transport sector is so heavily dependent on it.

Who regulates the energy sector in Bhutan?

While the Department of Energy formulates policy, planning, and coordination, the Bhutan Electricity Authority is the main regulatory agency of the energy sector. Since 2006, the Electricity Authority has had the ability to impose differential tariff structures on low, medium, and high voltage consumers.

Can Bhutan generate biogas?

Bhutan had previously explored generating biogas in an identical fashion in the 1980s, but the program was abandoned after failures in training of masons and users, after-sales service, and site follow-up. The theoretical development potential for wind power in Bhutan is an estimated 761 megawatts.
