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.
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.
