The proposed grant will provide reliable and sustainable electricity to the rural households through harnessing solar power which will contribute to poverty reduction, and gender equality. The main objective of the project is to demonstrate the viability of solar power through a pilot project and develop an enabling regulatory framework with due consideration given to the rural poverty.
To ensure efficient grid planning and solar integration, Bhutan''s power generator, Druk Green Power Corporation, and the transmission and distribution utility, Bhutan Power Corporation, are partnering with the South Asia Group for Energy (SAGE) to develop their solar capabilities, integrate solar energy into the grid, and strengthen Bhutan''s

Renewable energy in Bhutan is the use of renewable energy for electricity generation in Bhutan. The renewable energy sources include hydropower. While Bhutan has seen great successes with developing its large hydropower projects through technical and financial assistance from India, little or no private sector participation with other forms of renewable energy has been evident. In part because of the Sustainable development goals
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
