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”
ESD Samdrupjongkhar has been responding to the emergency needs of the electricity during ongoing lock down with the formation of two teams (Core team & the backup team). These two teams were isolated from each other and were stationed in different locations (Core team in RSD area & backup in the ESD office) to avoid direct contact amongst the team.
With the detection of COVID-19 positive case in BPC colony in Samdrup Jongkhar, BPC premises (Office & colony) is cordoned off and declared as Red Zone by COVID TF. One of the team members from core team (stationed in RSD area) is identified as the primary contact of the positive case detected from BPC colony. In this scenario, both core team and back up are not available leading to shortage of critical manpower in the area for delivering emergency services.
To address the gap, additional layer of backup team is formed with the employees from nearby offices as follows:
| Sl. No | Personal No. | Name | Designation | Contact No. | Office currently attached | Remarks |
| 1 | 30001091 | Tashi Wangchuk | Engineer | 17450834 | ESD Samdrup Jongkhar | Team Leader |
| 2 | 30000797 | Karma Tsheltrum | Technician II | 17697854 | ESD, S/Jongkhar | |
| 3 | 30001659 | Neten Tshewang | Asst. Lineman | 17809903 | ESD, Sjongkhar | |
| 4 | 30002147 | Tashi Wangdi | Technician II | 17324099 | ESSD, Samdrupcholing | |
| 5 | 30002685 | Tashi Tobjay | Technician II | 17694935 | ESSD, Jomotsangkha | |
| 6 | 30002200 | Kharka Bdr | Technician IV | 17454850 | ESSD, Jomotsangkha |
This additional backup team has been activated and dispatched to Samdrup Jongkhar. They shall be operating on an isolation mode.
Note: In case of emergency breakdown maintenance works in Deothang & Samdrupcholoing area, additional manpower shall be pooled from TMD & SMD staffs of Deothang.
There is no requirement of such additional backup team to be dispatched at this stage as the core teams were isolated in the different locations from BPC colony are (cordoned off area). Both core teams are available for service delivery. The additional backup team shall be activated and dispatched only if such a need arises in Phuentsholing.
