The New Energy Policy aims to consolidate Paraguay's position as a key player in regional energy integration, through overarching goals to strengthen the national electricity sector and key subsectors such as: electricity, binational hydroelectric entities, bioenergy, renewable alternative sources, and hydrocarbons.
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.
1. General energy sector Institutional strengthening: creation of the Ministry of Energy, Hydrocarbons, and Mining (MEHM) by 2024, followed by a plan to strengthen it and the public companies in the sector by 2025. Energy efficiency: creation of the Paraguayan Energy Efficiency Agency (public-private partnership) by 2030.
By relying on natural gas in the short term, Paraguay can reduce its dependence on coal and oil while ramping up its investments in solar, hydrogen, and bioenergy. Paraguay's ambitious energy policy is a bold step toward a more sustainable future, but it also comes with challenges.
