Bhutan – Asia Wind Energy Association

Bhutan''s Department of Renewable Energy helped formulate and launch its Alternative Renewable Energy Policy in order to promote in Bhutan a mix of clean Renewable Energy (RE) technologies – solar, wind, bio-mass, geo-thermal, pico/micro/mini/small hydropower plants up to 25 MW in size and waste-to-energy technologies

Bhutan''s first wind power project in Rubessa to power 600 households

Bhutan will be setting up its first ever wind power plant in Rubessa, Wangduephodrang that is expected to generate power for around 600 ruralhouseholds. "The calculation is that an average rural household''s power consumption of power will be about 1kW, so a 500kW wind power can power around 600 households," said Karma Tshering the

Bhutan boasts not only abundant solar and hydropower resources but also promising wind energy potential. With dedicated efforts and innovative techniques, despite its challenging mountainous terrain, the country can tap into its rich solar and wind resources across various regions.

ENERGY PROFILE Bhutan

Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
