Renewable Energy Potential and Ongoing Projects
Hydropower
- Techno-economically feasible = 23,760 MW (100,000 GWh)
- Total installed capacity1488 MW (including mini/micro hydro)- 3,066 MW under construction
Biomass/Biogas
- Constitutional mandate to maintain 60% under forest cover- Source of primary energy (91% met by biomass)

Solar Energy
- Over 0.25 MW installed- Resource potential of 4.5 to 5 kWh/m2/day
MSW
- 81 t/year to generate 3.4 MW
Fossil Fuels
- Coal reserve of 1.96 m tones
- No known reserve => Import dependent!.- Imported over 86,000 KL of diesel, 24,000 KL of petrol and6,000 KL of kerosene in 2010.

Renewable Energy Potential and Ongoing Projects
7/29/2019 Session 2 - Mr. Choeden Tashi - Bhutan
6/14
In 2012, power demand283.73MW (peak)
99% hydropower driven and diversification is essential to ensure security of
supply
85.5% of rural populace has access to national grid (the nature of
settlements in the rugged areas entails huge costs in providing energyservices)
100% dependent on import of fossil fuel (stability of supply and price
volatility - more stress on the economy)

Accelerated hydropower Development
- 10, 000 MW development plan by 2020
- Power Trading assessment underway
National Renewable Energy Development
- About 20 MW by 2020 ( As per Draft Final RE Policy)
- RE Master Plan will be prepared in 11th FYP
Energy Efficiency
- Promote energy efficient building techs, standards/codes, awareness and
capacity building- Energy Efficiency and Conservation Baseline studies ongoing.
- Energy Efficiency Policy will be formulated in the 11th FYP.

Rural Electrification Status of Bhutan
RGoB has mandate Electricity to all by 2013 At the end of 9 FYP44,691 households were electrified.
10 FYP target - 43951households
- 40257 households by on-grid.
- 3,694 house hold by off-grid.
Over all RE achievement during 10 FYP till date 31182+2666=33848 household (77.0% of 10 FYP Target)
Over all RE achievement till date=44691+31182+2666=78539 hh( out of 88642 hh)
Overall achievement 89%
