Tata Power Company has entered into a strategic partnership with Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC), a subsidiary of Druk Holding and Investments, sole generation utility of Bhutan, to collaborate and develop at least 5,000 MW of clean energy generation capacity in Bhutan.
This is in keeping with Bhutan’s vision for its energy sector which is to take its overall generation capacity to 25,000 MW by 2040 for its energy security and regional energy integration. Bhutan plans to achieve this target through diversification in its energy portfolio beyond traditional hydropower, which would include solar and geothermal energy. This will extend to diversifying project structuring and financing through such strategic partnerships.
With the support of the Royal Government of Bhutan and the Government of India, this marks the largest partnership between two of the leading power companies of the two nations in Asia's clean energy sector. Both companies have a stellar track record in the energy sector and a long-standing relationship having worked together for over 15 years.
This strategic partnership signifies Tata Power's pre-eminence as the most preferred clean energy partner not only in India but also as a regional leader. This partnership will help unleash Bhutan’s great potential for hydropower and its important role in ensuring energy security in the region.
Tata Power Company is India’s largest integrated power company. It is a pioneer credited with steering the energy sector on technology, process and platform.
