Sephu plant will serve as an addition to the 180 kW grid-connected ground-mounted solar photovoltaic power station in Rubesa (near Punakha), which became operational in October 2021.[1] The Sephu plant is currently under construction over an area of 65 acres in Yongtru village, situated in the Sephu Gewog.[2] Upon its completion, the overall installed capacity of the facility will reach 17.38 megawatts.[3]
The Government of Bhutan intends to complete the project by the end of 2024, at which time it will hand over the plant's operation to Druk Green Power, an electricity provider in Bhutan.[4] The funding for this project has primarily come from the Asian Development Bank.[5]
