ORGANOGRAM
Bhutan Power Corporation Limited (BPC) was formed as an offshoot of the erstwhile Department of Power, the then Ministry of Trade and Industry and was launched as Public Utility Company on 1st July 2002 with an objective that the corporatization of the utility functions would lead to greater efficiency and better delivery of electricity supply services in the power sector.
Later, the Ownership was transferred to Druk Holding and Investment Limited (DHI), the commercial arm of the Royal Government of Bhutan, established in 2007 upon issuance of Royal Charter in 2007 “to hold and manage the existing and future investments of the Royal Government for the long term benefit of the people of Bhutan”
To ensure accurate and timely reading of the household energy meters, Bhutan Power Corporation inaugurated meter reading monitoring system on 12th April 2021 at Taba in Thimphu.
Geo-tagged Quick Response (QR) codes will be placed at every meter location. The meter reader shall scan the QR code using google lens while reading the meter(s) in that location. The location and time details will be stamped and saved in google cloud for every scan performed by the reader. Supervisors and managers can view the data to ensure that meters are read within prescribed time frames and recurrent readings are avoided. Meter reading monitoring system is currently being deployed for Thimphu.
