6 FAQs about [Bhutan wind power energy storage project]

Can Bhutan achieve energy security through a diversified and sustainable supply mix?

This Renewables Readiness Assessment brings Bhutan one step closer to achieving energy security through a diversified and sustainable supply mix.” While the country’s energy mix today is dominated by hydropower, other renewable energy technologies such as solar, wind and bioenergy show promise.

How much wind energy does Bhutan have?

A DRE–MOEA (2016b) study that accounts for these limitations found that Bhutan can easily deploy close to 760 MW of wind energy, with the northern dzongkhag (district) of Wangdue accounting for close to 19% of this potential, followed by the southern dzongkhags of Chukka (12%) and Dagana (10%) (DRE–MOEA, 2016c). Figure 6. Solar map

Why is Bhutan not able to secure its energy requirement?

Despite availability of diverse source of clean energy resources in excess of national demand, both in terms of potential and installed capacity, Bhutan has not been able to secure its energy requirement, especially in lean season. Bhutan imports power every winter months, when the demand is at peak and generation is at lowest point.

Is Bhutan ready for energy self-sufficiency?

Bhutan continues to import electricity, especially during winter months when demand spikes, and it has only heightened with electricity imported from the energy exchange with effect from January 2022. Given enormous renewable energy resource endowment, it is critical that Bhutan prepares for energy self-sufficiency using its own resources.

Are heat pumps a viable option for space heating in Bhutan?

Powered by the hydroelectricity-based grid, these heat pumps ofer a viable opportunity for increasing the penetration of renewable energy in heating end-uses in Bhutan. Air- and ground-sourced heat pumps, both of which run on electricity, are both viable options for space heating in Bhutan (DRE–MOEA, 2018).

What is Bhutan's national energy eficiency and conservation policy?

Bhutan’s “National energy eficiency and conservation policy” delineates a comprehensive set of energy eficiency and energy conservation measures for all sectors (DRE–MOEA, 2017). A concerted efort toward comprehensive implementation of these measures is an essential first step towards a sustainable energy system.
