External relations

DGPC has maintained excellent business relationships with system operators, transmission providers and power purchasers, both within the Kingdom and in India, ensuring uninterrupted evacuation of power. The nurturing of ties with suppliers of goods and services and government and non-government institutions, both here in Bhutan and outside has enabled the company to function smoothly throughout the year.

During the year, DGPC interacted with a vast number of government and semi-government agencies, local and international financial institutions, private power  developers, investors, and consulting and construction firms in the build up to the likelihood of private participation in Bhutan's power sector. DGPC continues to interact with many of these organisations, especially with Government of India and other Indian agencies in the process of achieving Bhutan's vision of 10,000MW by 2020.
