First phase of Bhutan''s Utility-Scale Solar Project to complete by

The first phase of Bhutan''s first utility-scale solar power project at Sephu in Wangdue Phodrang is set for completion by March next year. A utility-scale solar facility generates solar power and feeds it into the grid. The 17.38-megawatt solar farm is expected to generate around 24 million units of energy annually, once operational.

Technical Assistance Report

3 Since Bhutan''s electricity prices are cheaper than in neighboring countries, energy-intensive industries such as ferro-silicon and cement have been established in Bhutan. This demand growth was anticipated but the supply side capacity addition has not taken place, mainly because of unexpected delays of two mega run-of-the-river hydropower projects—the Punatsangtsu-I
