Bhutan's estimated total energy generation potential from rooftop solar system is 3,586 MW, including specific estimates for Thimphu (789 MW) and Paro (206 MW).5 In Thimphu alone, there are 1,521 government buildings suitable for rooftop solar installations, with an estimated capacity of 50 MW.
While Bhutan industrial consumers pay a higher electricity tariff than their cost of supply, the rate of Nu 2.66/kilowatt-hour (kWh) (equivalent to ¢3.2/kWh) remains attractive to power intensive industries.
The power scenario in Bhutan has undergone a major shift with demand growth especially in the industrial sector outpacing capacity addition. Industrial consumption represented by high voltage consumers has been sharply increasing since 2021. This consumer category has directly increased the overall consumption of Bhutan.
These power-intensive industrial consumers currently account for approximately 85% of the total domestic load as of 2023.1 From December 2023 to March 2024, Bhutan's domestic consumption has already risen by 59% compared to the same period of the previous year (December 2022–March 2023), from 1,473 gigawatt-hour (GWh) to 2,346 GWh.
