India Commissions 100 MW Solar Project for Cross-Border Supply to Bhutan

India has successfully commissioned a 100 MW solar project that will supply electricity to Bhutan, marking a significant milestone in cross-border energy cooperation.

Key Highlights:

• First Direct Power Import from India to Bhutan – This is the first instance of an Indian generator supplying power directly to Bhutan under a bilateral trade framework.
• Winter Power Support – 50% of the power generated will be supplied to Bhutan during winter months, when the country faces hydropower shortages.
• Enhancing Regional Energy Security – This initiative strengthens South Asia’s energy integration, ensuring sustainable and stable power across borders.

By leveraging geographic diversity and renewable energy resources, this project sets a precedent for future cross-border renewable energy trade, fostering a resilient and interconnected energy market in the region.
