Increasing Access to Electricity and Renewable Energy in Bolivia

Bolivia is moving forward with its objective of reducing poverty and achieving universal access to electricity by 2025. Between 2014 and 2019, 4,300 households were connected to the power grid, providing electricity to approximately 20,200 people. In addition, the country constructed 708 kilometers of electricity distribution lines.

In 2011, Bolivia defined the Policies for Renewable Energy in the Electric Sector, including action through four programmes: (1) deployment of renewable energy, (2) rural electrification, (3) development of the regulatory framework; and (4) research and development (R&D).

Energy profile: Bolivia

Bolivia''s overall energy mix is dominated by fossil fuels, with natural gas (50%) and petroleum products (31%) supplying most of the country''s energy in 2020. In 2021, Bolivia''s national electricity agency ENDE announced its intention to generate up to 80% of the country''s power from renewable sources by 2025.

Electricity in Bolivia started in 1899, when tin magnate Simón Iturri Patiño built a Diesel-generated power plant in Uncía, which provided energy to his nearby residence and the Miraflores mine. The first hydroelectric power plant was built in 1902 in Landara. Soon after more hydroelectric plants were built around the urban centers of Potosí, La Paz and Cochabamba. One of the first overhead po

Electricity sector in Bolivia

Renewable energy resources other than hydropower are barely exploited in Bolivia, and their contribution to electricity generation is insignificant. However, the potential of decentralized electricity systems (i.e. solar photovoltaics or PV, wind, etc.) for disperse populations was recognized by the government in the Rural Electrification Plan

ENERGY PROFILE Bolivia (Plurinational State of)

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and
