OverviewHydroelectric powerHistoryOther forms of renewable energyCarbon neutralityGoals and commitments

Bhutan has significant potential for hydropower, estimated at around 30,000 MW, of which 23,760 MW has been identified as economically feasible. As of 2016, Bhutan''s installed hydropower capacity is 1,615 MW. On-grid hydropower is Bhutan''s main energy source. In mountainous rural areas where grid extension is not feasible, off-grid renewable energy has been used to improve access to electric
