Private investors eyeing solar energy have three prime destinations: Bumthang, Wangdue, and Trongsa. Together, these dzongkhags hold the highest potential—2,099 megawatts (MW), 1,266MW, and 1,221MW respectively—according to the new National Solar Energy Roadmap (NSER). . While Bhutan is known for its hydropower, it also receives strong solar radiation, especially in its lower altitude and southern regions. Key Solar Irradiation Data: These levels make Bhutan suitable for off-grid PV, rooftop solar, and hybrid systems, especially in places where extending the grid. . Bhutan has launched its National Solar Energy Roadmap to diversify its energy sources and bolster energy security amid rising electricity demand. A utility-scale solar facility generates solar power and feeds it into the grid. Bhutan inaugurated its first-ever utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant on July 19 in Yongtru village, Sephu Gewog. . This has led to increased reliance on fossil fuel-derived energy imports from India, jeopardising Bhutan's carbon neutrality commitments outlined in its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and Long-Term Strategy (LTS).

According to the National Energy Administration (NEA), the combined installed capacity of solar and wind reached approximately 1,840 GW by the end of 2025, accounting for over 47% of the nation's total power capacity and overtaking thermal power for the first time in history. . In a landmark development for China's energy landscape, 2025 marked the first time solar power generation eclipsed wind energy. This historic transition stems from the aggressive expansion of photovoltaic (PV) systems, fueled by a staggering 80% reduction in global panel costs over the last ten. . Note: NEA considers utility-scale solar to include projects of at least six megawatts of installed alternating current capacity. Utility-scale solar power capacity in China reached more than 880 gigawatts (GW) in 2024, according to China's National Energy Administration. Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their competitive edge. So there is a lot of uncertainty in the. .
