Hydropower is Bhutan’s dominant export and primary source of electricity. However, its reliance on river flows, which are becoming increasingly erratic due to climate change, underscores the urgent need to diversify Bhutan’s energy mix. In 2018, the Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC) recorded the lowest electricity generation due to adverse hydrological conditions. Seasonal imbalances further challenge Bhutan’s energy security, particularly in winter when electricity demand surges while hydropower generation declines. This shortfall increases reliance on imported fossil fuels like kerosene, contradicting Bhutan’s sustainability goals. To address these challenges, we will champion renewables—unlocking the potential of solar, wind, and biomass-based energy. Recent technological advancements and cost reductions make these alternatives increasingly viable. In collaboration with the government, multilateral partners, and local communities, we will pilot and scale up renewable energy projects across Bhutan. By establishing community energy banks, we aim to enhance energy security, reduce dependence on hydropower, and bring electricity to Bhutan’s last unconnected communities.
