Tata Power And Druk Green Sign MoU For 5,000 MW Skill Ecosystem

Tata Power and Druk Green Power Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding in Thimphu to establish a skill development ecosystem to support development of 5,000 megawatt (MW) of clean energy capacity. The ceremony was attended by the Prime Minister of Bhutan and senior representatives from both organisations. The MoU set out roles, training delivery and a partnership to build a workforce for construction and operations.

Training will be delivered through the Tata Power Skill Development Institute (TPSDI), which will provide technical expertise, infrastructure, courseware and accreditation support. Druk Green Power Corporation (DGPC) will mobilise and deploy trainees and secure approvals from Bhutanese authorities while Tata Power will seek approvals from the Government of India. The partners said the programmes will align with national priorities and project timelines.

Implementation will be phased, starting with safety training and mandatory induction for workers prior to site entry, then expanding into technical skills including construction, material handling and earth-moving equipment operations. A later phase will develop specialised capabilities for long-term operation and maintenance of clean energy assets. The approach aims to ready trainees for both immediate deployment and future asset management.

Tata Power was described as a vertically integrated company with total operational and pipeline capacity surpassing 26 Gigawatt (GW), including about 17.5 GW of clean energy and around 8.9 GW of thermal generation, operating over 7,400 circuit kilometres of transmission lines and serving nearly 13 million (mn) customers. TPSDI is accredited by the National Safety Council of India and is an approved training partner of the National Skill Development Corporation with a network across India. DGPC was noted as Bhutan’s sole generation utility with a hydro portfolio of 3,473 megawatt (MW) and an envisioned expansion plan for hydro and solar capacity over the coming decade.
