ERA is committed to ensuring the efficient supply of electricity while balancing public interests. It also facilitates the development of electricity generation, transmission, and distribution across Bhutan. This is achieved through the formulation of regulations, standards, codes, and guidelines, as well as processing applications and issuing licenses for activities such as generation, transmission, system operation, import, export, distribution, and sale of electricity. ERA monitors the performance of licensees to ensure compliance with the Electricity Act of Bhutan 2001, determines and approves proposed tariffs, and reviews existing tariffs.
