Household electrification

This paper presents trends in GHG emission by sector and fuel from the years 1990 to 2020 and identifies the country’s primary energy dependency. For 30 years, the electricity sector had the highest GHG contribution as it aimed to continuously increase the electrification level (currently at 94.5 %) leading to 24 million households having access to electricity.

Through rigorous rural electrification projects, over 99.97% of Bhutan’s households now have access to electricity, which is predominantly generated from run-of-the-river hydropower plants. Despite this achievement, around 5% of the rural households still do not have access to electricity to meet their cooking load demands and, therefore, they extensively rely on firewood, LPG, and kerosene for cooking purposes. Apart from hydropower, penetration of other renewable sources such as solar and wind power in the country is negligible.
