Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
The policy is expected to enhance Paraguay's energy resilience, foster innovation, and contribute to global sustainability goals. Paraguay has long been known for its reliance on renewable energy. Nearly 100% of its electricity is generated from hydropower, mainly through the Itaipu and Yacyretá dams.
Solar energy, in particular, is seen as a vital addition, taking advantage of Paraguay's abundant sunlight to reduce pressure on its hydropower resources. The government also plans to harness bioenergy through biomass and biogases, tapping into organic waste and agricultural byproducts as fuel sources.
In addition to its focus on renewables, Paraguay is also looking to natural gas as a transitional energy source. The country's new energy policy includes a project to integrate natural gas into its energy matrix. This would provide a reliable alternative to hydrocarbons while renewable technologies continue to scale.
Paraguay has launched an ambitious energy policy, targeting a diverse, sustainable energy mix by 2050. Focusing on solar, hydrogen fuel, and biofuels, the country aims to secure energy independence
