Bhutan has 17 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 10 tracked facilities, ranking #157 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 100% of the operating capacity (17 MW) comes from solar parks, against 0 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 120 MW under construction and 565 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 4,029% of today’s operating fleet.

About 17 MW (100%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2025, with 17 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Wangduephodrang (17 MW).
