Four hydroelectric projects are being planned for development in Bhutan as a means of harnessing the country’s hydroelectric potential as well as enhancing India’s strategic influence in the region. National Hydroelectric Power Corp. Ltd, NTPC Ltd, Tehri Hydro Development Corp. Ltd and Satluj Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd plan to develop the projects with a combined capacity of 3000MW through joint ventures, and import the bulk of the power generated back to India. Bhutan, which is strategically located between India and China, is estimated to have a potential to generate 30,000MW of hydropower, but has an installed capacity of just 1490MW.
