Does Bolivia have a long-term energy plan?

As previously mentioned, the Bolivian government does not provide any long-term energy planning study, however, the UNFCC (2015b) states that RE will compose 81% of electricity generation by 2030. Bolivia’s scenario for 2027 according to MHE (2009) states that biomass sources will comprise 8% of total final energy demand.

What are the policy guidelines for the energy sector in Bolivia?

The Bolivian government has established the following policy guidelines for the energy sector: energy sovereignty, energy security, energy universalization, energy efficiency, industrialization, energy integration, and strengthening of the energy sector (MHE, 2014).

Will Electric based heating drive the transition in Bolivia?

Heating demand in Bolivia transitions from a system dominated by natural gas and biomass to a largely electrified heating sector. Because of the low cost of renewable electricity, electric based heating will drive the transition for Bolivia’s heat sector. Fig. 13.

What is the storage capacity supply for heat and electricity?

Fig. 17 shows the storage capacity supply for heat and electricity by storage type. Electricity storage provides energy output of 29.6 TWh el, 28.9 TWh el and 29.5 TWh el and heat storage provides 105 TWh th, 104 TWh th, and 81 TWh th for BPS-1, BPS-2, and BPS-3, respectively.
