 | | A 132 kV transmission line has been extended (131 km) from Nanglam via Tintibi, Zhemngang, to Gelephu, Sarpang, for export of surplus power generated by the Kurichu project, and to increase the reliability of power supply to the proposed Dungsam project in Nanglam. |
 | | To cope with increased workload due to extensive rural electrification, the Department of Power established independent Electricity Supply Offices at Lhuentse, Mongar, Pemagatshel and Trashiyangtse in 2001. |
 | | For institutional lighting of lhakhangs, goenpas, chamkhangs, monastic schools/shedras, boarding schools, community schools and rural households, 180 sets of photovoltaic panels were installed in Chukha, Paro, Haa, Thimphu, Punakha, Pemagatshel, Yangtse, Bumthang, Samdrupjongkhar, Wangdue, Lhuntse, Trongsa and Mongar from the 7th Five Year Plan spill-over stock. |
