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)

- Over 16,000 biogas plants techno-economically feasible and 1,600

under implementation

- 20,000 improved biomass stoves under implementation

Wind Energy

- Windy in winter

- Pilot Wind project - Tender document under finalization4

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%
