Solar Water Heating Systems for Bhutan II



Contract partner: Schwärzler Günther, Ing. Country: Bhutan Funding amount: € 13.600,00 Project start: 01.10.2005 End: 31.01.2006

Short Description:

Overall goal


The overall objective of this expert mission is to promote renewable sources of energy in a sustainable way to meet the energy requirement of the people. However, to make the program sustainable, adaptable and cost effective, there is an urgent need to undertake materials research for production, standardise the specification for adoption, development of preconditions for installation and maintenance.


The immediate objective of the proposed activity is to complete the proposal of a methodology for the development of standardised solar systems that are sustainable and adaptable under Bhutanese conditions and a suitable scenario for design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of solar thermal installations in Bhutan. The second immediate objective is the completion of the installation of the pilot demonstration plant with measuring equipment to allow for permanent monitoring and adequate sizing of solar installations in the future.

  • Policy marker: are used to identify, assess and facilitate the monitoring of activities in support of policy objectives concerning gender equality, aid to environment, participatory development/good governance, trade development and reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health. Activities targeting the objectives of the Rio Conventions include the identification of biodiversity, climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, and desertification.
    • 1= policy is a significant objective of the activity
    • 2= policy is the principal objective of the activity
  • Donor/ source of funding: The ADA is not only implementing projects and programmes of the Austrian Development Cooperation , but also projects funded from other sources and donors such as
    • AKF - Foreign Disaster Fund of the Austrian federal government
    • BMLFUW - Federal Ministry for Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water
    • EU - Funds of the European Commission
    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
