The current methodology to determine electricity rates in the country is based on the cost of supply, as per the Electricity Act, 2001 and the Tariff Determination Regulation of 2007.
The revision is an outcome of the decision taken by the Bhutan Power Corporation on 1 October, last year.

The Low Voltage Users are mostly ordinary households and the hotels.
