Renewable energy here is the sum of hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal, modern biomass and wave and tidal energy. Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important energy source in lower-income settings. Bhutan: How much of the country’s energy comes from nuclear power?
While hydropower is likely to remain an important component of the energy sector and economy of Bhutan, renewable energy technologies such as solar PV, wind, bioenergy and small hydropower could ofer opportunities to diversify the country’s energy mix and help address rising energy demand.
Gigawatt Global Coöperatief U.A. is a multinational renewable energy company focused on the development and management of utility-scale solar fields in emerging markets. Gigawatt Global has a rich pipeline of renewable energy projects, providing solar, wind and hydro electricity, mostly in Africa.
Despite the mountainous terrain, the country is blessed with good solar and wind resources in several regions. As per the Renewable Energy Management Master Plan (2016), Bhutan could produce 12 gigawatts (GW) of solar and 760 megawatts (MW) of wind energy in technical terms.
Bhutan’s power sector provides a significant contribution to its national economy, 19.45% of domestic revenue, 34.15% of total export earnings and 8% of GDP in 2016 (RMA, 2017) (Poindexter, 2018). The country generates surplus power during the monsoon season from its run-of-river hydropower infrastructure and the surplus power is exported.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Bhutan: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
