SE4ALL INITIATIVES
8
Energy Access
• No Clear policy targets to address reduced use of fuel wood for cooking and heating
• Require significant capacity building of public and private agencies to develop Bhutan’s hydropower potential
Renewable Energy Systems:
• Develop RE roadmap for all RETs and FiT
• DRE needs to strengthen their capacity and gain experience in
promoting and developing RE technologies
•Bhutan joined SE4ALL in 2012 after the Rio Brazil Summit.
•Energy + Cooperation Partnership with funding from Norwegian Govt.
•Rapid Assessment and Gap Analysis study with funding from ADB
(2012)
Findings of RA/GA
SE4ALL INITIATIVES…….
9
Energy Efficiency:
• No detailed studies of the potential of EE in the country have been
undertaken nor EE specific programs developed
• No Energy Efficiency and Conservation Policy (No financing estimate)
• Private Sector to play an important role in implementing EE
• Strengthening of the capacity of private sector to implement RE
systems and financial institutions to finance RE systems
• No specific budget prepared for developing RE
RENEWABLE ENERGY INITIATIVES
10
Hydropower
- Total installed capacity – 1,606 MW
- 2,940 MW under construction
Biomass/Biogas
- Constitutional mandate to maintain 60% under forest cover
- Biomass as source of primary energy
- About 3,612 Biogas plants constructed
- About 14,179 improved cook stoves installed
Wind Energy
- 600 kW pilot power plant commissioned in 2015
Solar Energy
- About 0.25 MW (stand alone)
- Carried out pilot projects on solar water heating systems
CURRENT INITIATIVES (CONT’D)
11
(1) Assessed RE Resources and Identified Potential
Renewable Energy Projects for development:
1. Renewable Energy Resource Mapping (Solar, Wind,
Small Hydropower and Biomass),
2. Prepared of Renewable Energy Development Master
Plan,
1. Prepared feasibility study reports (Solar, Small
Hydropower),
CURRENT INITIATIVES (CONT’D)
12
(2) Developed Renewable Energy Development Models
backed by the legislative and regulatory structures:
1. Alternative Renewable Energy Policy adopted in
2013,
2. Prepared Guidelines for the identification, preparation
and development of RE Projects,
3. Prepared of RE Project development mechanism
(RFP, RFQ, PPA, Project Development Agreement),
4. Formulation of Feed-in-tariff framework (draft),
5. Established of Renewable Energy Development Fund.
13
CURRENT INITIATIVES (CONT’D)
(3) Undertaken Demand Side Management initiatives to
encourage optimum utilization of limited RE resource
and efficient and effective delivery of RE services:
1. Energy auditing of energy consuming industry sector
2. Energy auditing of transport sector
3. Energy auditing of building sector
4. Energy auditing of appliances sector
5. Formulation of National Energy Efficiency Policy/draft

CHALLENGES FOR RE AND EE DEVELOPMENT
15
Capital intensive
Lack of capacity
Poor legal and regulatory framework
Poor private sector participation
Low return on investment
Lack of awareness at all levels
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY INVESTMENT PLANS
RE Master - 166 MW by 2032 – about USD 321 Million
Energy efficiency roadmap/draft – about USD 1,326
12 FYP (2018-2023) – under preparation and the National Key
Result Areas are in line with national priority and international
commitments (SDGs)
