En Bolivia, los recursos de energía renovable, aparte de la , son escasamente explotados y su contribución a la generación de electricidad es insignificante. Sin embargo, el gobierno ha reconocido en el Plan Bolivia de Electrificación Rural (PLABER) el potencial de los sistemas de electricidad descentralizados (es decir, fovoltaico, eólico, etc.) para poblaciones dispersas. Este componente estableció que el servicio para hogares, escuelas e instalaciones s. [pdf]
En Bolivia, se distinguen las siguientes empresas de energía eléctrica: DELAPAZ S.A. (ex ELECTROPAZ) era propiedad de Iberdrola. Nacionalizada por Decreto Supremo 1448 de 29 de diciembre de 2012. ENDE DEORURO S.A. (ex ELFEOSA) era propiedad de Iberdrola. Nacionalizada por Decreto Supremo 1448 de 29 de diciembre de 2012.
Como en otros países, el sector eléctrico de Bolivia está formado por el Sistema Interconectado Nacional (SIN) y sistemas aislados de la red (conocidos como Aislado ). En Bolivia, el Sistema Interconectado Nacional (SIN) conecta a los mayores centros urbanos y representa el 83% de la capacidad instalada.
La mayor planta es Santa Isabel con 93 MW, operada por Corani. 3 El Banco Mundial está financiando un proyecto de infraestructura rural en Bolivia que, entre otras cosas, planifica la instalación de 17.000 sistemas hogareños de energía solar para el año 2009.
En 2005, el acceso total a la electricidad en Bolivia fue del 67%, uno de los más bajos de América Latina. El acceso urbano fue del 87%, mientras que el acceso rural fue tan sólo del 30%. 6 (Véase Desarrollos recientes para obtener más información sobre los planes de electrificación.)
Sin embargo, el gobierno ha reconocido en el Plan Bolivia de Electrificación Rural (PLABER) el potencial de los sistemas de electricidad descentralizados (es decir, solar fovoltaico, eólico, etc.) para poblaciones dispersas.
La asistencia externa para el sector eléctrico en Bolivia está fuertemente enfocada a la electrificación rural, sin financiación para la generación a gran escala, la cual ha sido privatizada completamente. En la actualidad, el Banco Mundial está involucrado en dos proyectos para el sector energético de Bolivia:

One major breakout for renewable energy in Bolivia was the construction of its first wind power plant in 2014, located in Qollpana, Cochabamba. This was followed by the release of the “Electric Plan of the Plurinational State of Bolivia 2025,” a document explaining the government’s long-term vision of an energy. . The transition to renewable energy in Bolivia carries the potential to advance poverty reduction efforts in the country. It could reduce the energy access breach in Bolivia, with 2.4% of the. . Despite the country’s efforts, natural gas still makes up 80.7% of total energy production. Nevertheless, Bolivia is not short on ways to keep pushing toward renewable energy. . Although Bolivia’s journey toward renewable energy is still in its early stages, the nation has made considerable strides in a short amount of time. By transitioning to renewable energy, Bolivia can reduce poverty-related issues. [pdf]

For instance, Bolivia is part of RELAC, an alliance between Latin. [pdf]

Using Bolivia’s own excellent solar resources to generate synthetic fuels in BPS-1 and BPS-2 would result in energy independence and security. Due to the lack of GHG emission costs in BPS-3 fuel costs remain for the fossil fuels used in the heat and transport sectors. Fig. 23.
Bolivia continues to make efforts to upgrade the infrastructure needed for renewable energy production. The National Interconnected System (SIN), which the government has put in place, aims to improve the nation’s capacity for producing electricity by building additional power plants, transmission lines and substations.
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.
These efficiency savings can be estimated to about 22%, 14%, and 26% for BPS-1, BPS-2, and BPS-3, respectively. Furthermore, large-scale development of solar PV, particularly in off-grid communities, can serve to reduce energy poverty in Bolivia (Sovacool, 2012).
Similar to the country’s total energy system, the power sector relies heavily on natural gas (AEtN, 2016). The electricity network in Bolivia is broken into two classifications: the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the Isolated Systems (SAs).
