Titled "Empowering Energy Security & Sustainable Growth," the policy consolidates and supersedes several prior frameworks, including the Bhutan Sustainable Hydropower Development Policy 2021, Alternative Renewable Energy Policy 2013, Domestic Electricity Tariff Policy 2016, and National Energy Efficiency & Conservation Policy 2019.
According to the National Energy Policy released in June 2025, Bhutan aims to expand its total installed capacity to 25 GW by 2040 — 20 GW from hydropower and 5 GW from solar and wind. This strategy focuses on balancing export-oriented hydro projects with localised renewable generation to ensure year-round energy security.
The introduction of solar and wind projects helps Bhutan stabilise supply throughout the year. The 500 MW Reliance solar farm and local solar-wind installations like those in Sephu and Rubesa will cover winter shortfalls and reduce the need to import power during dry months.
Market-Oriented Reforms: Establishing a domestic trading platform and regional interconnections (e.g., via Renewable Energy Certificates) positions Bhutan as a green energy exporter, potentially boosting revenues beyond the current 38% electricity share in total energy supply (793 KTOE in 2022).
