The Sephu project will be Bhutan's largest solar facility. Credit: Bhutan ministry of energy and natural resources The Bhutanese government has started construction on the country's first utility-scale solar farm, the Sephu solar project, which boasts a capacity of 17.38MW.
The Bhutanese government has started construction on the country's first utility-scale solar farm, the 17.38MW Sephu solar project.
Solar photovoltaic energy in Bhutan has an annual generation profile that complements hydropower, producing most power during the dry season. The estimate for the technical potential of solar photovoltaic generation in the country is 12,000 MW. The DRE will serve as the executing agency and will implement all activities under the ADB loan.
This will be the first utility scale alternative renewable power plant in the country and the first step to diversify the generation portfolio of Bhutan's hydropower dominated energy sector, creating system change and building resilience against adverse climate change impacts on the power sector.
The government's department of energy, part of the ministry of energy and natural resources, will oversee work on the project, while construction work will be completed by a joint venture comprising Bhutanese construction firm M/S Rigsar and Indian engineering company PES.
