The Government of Bhutan has signed a $30 million loan agreement with The Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a 35 MW of rooftop solar power systems on public buildings. The Distributed Solar for Public Infrastructure Project aims to enhance Bhutan’s energy security, especially during the winter months. It also supports Bhutan’s efforts to diversify energy sources and strengthen climate resilience. The agreement also includes a $1 million technical assistance grant to pilot solar technology, train local workers, and strengthen Bhutan’s solar energy capabilities. The project aims to provide reliable power for public services and lay the groundwork for expanding solar energy to other sectors.
