Can solar power grow in Bhutan?
“We did the studies on renewable energy management master planning in and the reports say Bhutan has a capacity for 12 Giga watts of solar energy and 760 MW of wind so we have a lot to tap as there is a lot of opportunity for solar energy solar power to grow in Bhutan. There is a lot of potential and I think this is the right step.”
Who is the chief guest of Bhutan Solar Initiative project (BSIP)?
The Prime Minister Dasho Dr Lotay Tshering was the Chief Guest. Bhutan Solar Initiative Project (BSIP) set up under Royal Command has implemented two Solar PV Projects in Thimphu. 250kW Rooftop Centenary Farmers Market (CMF) and 500kW Ground mounted at Dechencholing.
How much does Dechencholing solar cost?
The total cost for the Dechencholing project is Nu 27 million with a per Kilowatt cost of Nu 54,000/- making it the most cost-effective solar installation in the country to date and also one of the lowest in the region. Today, CFM and Dechencholing plants are individually the largest solar installations in the country.
