Introduction
Bhutan is blessed with hydropower resources and have an estimated potential of 30,000 MW and 120 TWH mean annual energy generation indicating an average development potential of 781 kW in a square kilometer of area of land (catchment)(UN Studies). However so far, Bhutan has been able to harness only 1.6% of its total capacity.
Bhutan is working in close cooperation with its neighbouring country India to harness its hydropower.[1]
