GIS data for Bhutan's direct normal irradiance (DNI), global horizontal irradiance (GHI), and latitude tilt irradiance. Researchers from NREL and the Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (ASRC) at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Albany developed the estimates of Bhutans solar resource. SUNY researchers generated the estimates of GHI and DNI using images collected at hourly intervals between December 2002 and January 2007 from the European Meteosat 5 and 7 geostationary satellites. NREL used the GHI data to generate estimates of the resource potential at latitude tilt, and to create the solar resource maps. This submission includes GIS resources of the results for this study. This data can be used to help with energy production and infrastructure planning in Bhutan.

GIS data for Bhutan's Wind Power Density at 50m Above Ground Level. NREL developed estimates of Bhutans wind resources at a spatial resolution of 1 km^2 using NREL?s Wind Resource Assessment and Mapping System (WRAMS). Wind turbine output at a given site can be predicted using wind speed data and the turbine's power curve, which describes the turbines operating power at different wind speeds. Using data found from this analysis, estimates can be made for the best potential locations for wind energy throughout Bhutan.

The real interest rate in Bhutan decreased by 0.5 percentage points (-6.44 percent) compared to the previous year. Nevertheless, the last two years recorded a significantly higher real interest rate than the preceding years.Real interest rate is the adjusted lending interest rate to remove the effects of inflation, as measured by the GDP deflator (implicit price deflator).Find more statistics on other topics about Bhutan with key insights such as deposit interest rate.

The gross domestic product (GDP) in current prices in Bhutan was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total two billion U.S. dollars (+63.49 percent). After the ninth consecutive increasing year, the GDP is estimated to reach 5.18 billion U.S. dollars and therefore a new peak in 2029. This indicator describes the gross domestic product at current prices. The values are based upon the GDP in national currency converted to U.S. dollars using market exchange rates (yearly average). The GDP represents the total value of final goods and services produced during a year.Find more key insights for the gross domestic product (GDP) in current prices in countries like India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
