<h1>70 MW solar project in Bhutan signals cross-border energy cooperation and advances developer's 1.5 GW Bhutan plan by 2030</h1> An Indian power company entered a strategic partnership with a Bhutanese developer to develop a 70 MW solar project and pursue 1.5 GW of solar capacity in Bhutan over five years; the partnership uses a preliminary technical site assessment and proximity to a 220/33 kV substation to enable power evacuation, facilitating grid integration. The project is presented as the first independent power producer project in the jurisdiction and forms part of broader cross-border renewable energy cooperation responding to rapidly rising domestic demand and stated national solar capacity targets, prompting additional investments by other regional developers.
