How much energy does a Bhutanese household consume a year?
On average, a household here consumes approximately 4,500 kWh per year and spends BTN 1200 (1USD=64BTN, Bhutanese Currency Ngultrum) in winter and BTN 600 in summer month on electricity. Operating time and penetration of appliances are the main characteristics that attributes to the disparity in energy consumption under different income classes.
How much electricity does Bhutan use a year?
The usual winter periods import is about 160 GWh which is expected to grow by 25% annually [11-13]. World average per capita electricity consumption is about 3,500 kWh and Bhutan per capita electricity consumption is almost in par with world's average (3,400 kWh).
What is the main source of energy in Bhutan?
Unlike in developed countries, households in the developing countries such as Bhutan, mostly rely on biomass (fuel-wood) as main the primary source of energy; especially for cooking and space heating, rather than other sources of energy.
Does Bhutan have a good energy policy?
The Royal Government of Bhutan has already started taking initiative towards energy efficiency and conservation and the energy policies are already in the pipeline which needs adopted meaningfully.
