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.
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.
“Hydropower is considered our nation's most precious resource that belongs to all the people of Bhutan.” “I want to emphasise three immediate priority areas that will support the Gelephu project: Energy, Connectivity, and Skills. First, we need to further expand our energy sector.
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.
To meet the energy supply deficits, particularly during the dry winter season, Bhutan has resorted to power imports from the year 2022, and this is expected to continue until adequate additional firm capacity is developed.
ment of thermal power plants in neighbourhood can be postponed. In Bhutan, ere is no such effect of development of thermal power plants. In Bhutan, when domestic power demand increases, if sufficient Firm power is not secured, it will not be possible to supply electricity using only the country's supply capacity in the dry
