Get a quoteDuring the year 2022, BPC serviced 232,465 customers, an increase of 4.7 percent from the previous year (BPC, 2023). The Building Sector in Bhutan consumed a total of 502.44 GWh of electricity in 2022, accounting for 14.5 percent of the country’s total electricity consumption (3,465.95 GWh).
It comprises coal, oil, petroleum, and natural gas products. Bhutan is blessed with hydropower resources and have an estimated potential of 30,000 MW and 120 TWH mean annual energy generation indicating an average development potential of 781 kW in a square kilometer of area of land (catchment) (UN Studies).
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.
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.
Wind Energy Bhutan has substantial capacity for leveraging wind power systems. The restricted theoretical development potential for wind power in the country is estimated to be approximately 761 MW, with Wangdue Phodrang exhibiting the highest potential at 141.7 MW, followed by Chhukha at 91.8 MW (DRE, 2015).
In Bhutan, the planning and coordination of energy-related activities primarily fall under the purview of four ministries: the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MoENR); the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (MoAL); the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Employment (MoICE); and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (MoIT).
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide. North America leads with a 38% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 25-30%. Europe follows with a 32% market share, where standardized energy storage cabinet designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at a 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial energy storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $450/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving energy storage cabinet and lithium battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 45% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 18+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $900/kW to $500/kW since 2022.
