ROLE OF DRUK GREEN POWER
CORPORATION LIMITED
As per the Royal Government of Bhutan’s “Sustainable
Hydropower Development Policy – 2008” :
“DGPC is responsible for managing all hydropower plants
fully owned by the Royal Government. It will also develop
projects on its own or through joint ventures on behalf of the
Royal Government as may be directed. Projects that are
funded through bilateral assistance shall continue to be
managed and supervised by the Ministry of Economic Affairs
through formation of project authorities. Such fully
Government owned generating plants shall be handed over
to DGPC when the Project Authority is dissolved”.
ROLE OF DRUK GREEN POWER
CORPORATION LIMITED
MISSIONS
Mission 1 : Effectively and efficiently manage hydropower plants, and
maximize returns
Mission 2 : Take a lead role in accelerating hydropower development in
the Kingdom by developing new hydropower projects
independently, through joint venture or any other
arrangement with domestic and international partners
Mission 3 : Provide energy security for domestic consumption, fuel
economic growth, and also explore forms of renewable
energy other than hydropower
Mission 4 : Build capacity in hydropower development and
management
Mission 5 : Be a responsible, proactive and progressive company with
highly motivated professionals
POTENTIAL FOR HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT
 Hydropower – the ONLY
energy resource Bhutan has
 No COAL
 No OIL
 Other renewable energy
resources (wind and solar) –
costs still prohibitive
 Highest per capita consumers
of firewood
POTENTIAL FOR HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT
The steep and rugged Himalayan
mountains and fast running rivers lend
themselves to huge hydropower
potential
 30,000 MW potential
 23,760 MW (76 sites of >10 MW)
techno-economically viable for
development

CURRENT DEVELOPED HYDROPOWER
POTENTIAL
 Developed Hydropower Potential
 Installed hydropower capacity of
1,489 MW constitutes , 5% of total
potential
 Diesel generation – 17 MW
CURRENT DEVELOPED HYDROPOWER
POTENTIAL
 Over 98% of the installed hydropower capacity
constructed through the assistance of the
Government of India through grant and loan financing
 Implementation through an Inter-Governmental
Model with an Authority and a management team
supported by numerous GOI agencies such as the
CWC, CEA, WAPCOS, GSI, NHPC etc
 Most of the transmission, sub-transmission, and
distribution lines built through GOI assistance
 Surplus power exported to India
 Benefits India’s energy sector
 Hydropower is the key sector driving the socioeconomic development of Bhutan

IMPACT OF HYDROPOWER TO BHUTAN’S
SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
 Electricity sales (domestic and export) contributes to
over 45% of the total internal revenues to the
government, and a little over 20% of the GDP
 79% of electricity was exported to India in 2009
 Annual domestic demand growth rate ~ 18%
 Access to Electricity
 Urban 100%
 Rural 65%
 Industrial consumption 80%
 Per capita consumption : 2,100 units
 “Electricity for All” by 2013 (every household)

OPPORTUNITIES OF DOING BUSINESS IN
BHUTAN’S HYDROPOWER SECTOR
 Agencies of the Government of India involved in Bhutan’s
Hydropower Development & transmission systems
OPPORTUNITIES OF DOING BUSINESS IN
BHUTAN’S HYDROPOWER SECTOR
 Major private sector companies involved in
hydropower development & transmission systems
OPPORTUNITIES OF DOING BUSINESS IN
BHUTAN’S HYDROPOWER SECTOR
 Intention to try and develop every hydropower project
under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
 Difficult to meet CDM requirements
 114 MW Dagachhu Hydroelectric Project
 First public private sector strategic partnership in
hydropower development
 First project of Bhutan to be registered with the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change
(UNFCCC)
Augmentation
of Chhukha
Plant in 2010
 A break through as the first CDM hydropower
project to be considered using cross border
energy trade baselines
OPPORTUNITIES OF DOING BUSINESS IN
BHUTAN’S HYDROPOWER SECTOR
 Over INR 600 billion expected to be invested in Bhutan’s
hydropower development over the next ten years
 Huge opportunities for participation as consultants,
suppliers, and contractors in hydropower development,
transmission systems, and CDM management
 Investments into hydropower sector
 Government of India Public Sector Undertakings (NHPC,
SJVNL, THDC & NTPC) will be joint venture partners for
some of the projects under the 10,000 MW by 2020 list
 No plans for private sector investments (IPPs) into the
hydropower sector although there is a huge interest from
the Indian private sector to invest in Bhutan’s
hydropower development
INDO-BHUTAN HYDRO POWER
OPPORTUNITIES
 The overwhelming opportunities for India and Bhutan
are in the energy generated and to be generated from
these hydropower projects
 Hydropower generation maximize in summer months
matching with peaking demands in India
 Present exports are 5,000 – 5,500 MU annually with
installed capacity of 1,480 MW
 With additional 10,000 MW of installed capacity, exports
could increase by another 30,000 – 35,000 MU annually
 Accelerated socio-economic development in Bhutan
from hydropower projects would only further increase
the already very high imports from India of all
commodities
