Specifically for Bolivia, country factsheet has been elaborated, including the information on solar resource and PV power potential country statistics, seasonal electricity generation variations, LCOE estimates and cross-correlation with
The company has successfully secured a substantial order for 2 megawatts of its cutting-edge 670-watt solar modules to be deployed in San Ignacio de Velasco, Bolivia. UKSOL, a leading provider of solar solutions, proudly announces a ground breaking achievement in the renewable energy sector.
The Altiplano plateau in western Bolivia has some of the world''s highest and most consistent levels of solar radiation, creating a high potential for solar photovoltaic power in the region, but structural challenges may prevent
Energética works to develop energy access using solar technologies in three realms: energy for the people, which seeks to meet the energy demands of families for lighting, communication and cooking; energy for the community, which develops projects to "strengthen social infrastructure" and services such as rural schools and clinics; and
Given Bolivia''s strong and consistent solar radiation, the country has high potential to expand its photovoltaic energy production capacity, and new plants with an additional capacity of 300 MW are already being studied.

The primary source of energy for Bolivia from this study is solar PV. Such high shares of solar PV in Bolivia are supported by solar resource findings in Breyer and Schmid (2010), which determined Bolivia to be among the
Despite hosting the largest solar power plant in Bolivia, Ancotanga has problems accessing this basic service. It receives electricity from Eucaliptos, another Oruro community, where conventional energy is produced.

As per NDC (2021-2030), Bolivia has set a target to attain an annual growth of 10% in the share of electric vehicles in the Bolivian public transportation by 2030.7 Bolivia receives high solar irradiation (GHI) of 5.4 kWh/m2/day and specific yield 4.9 kWh/kWp/day indicating a high technical feasibility for solar in the country.8

The primary source of energy for Bolivia from this study is solar PV. Such high shares of solar PV in Bolivia are supported by solar resource findings in Breyer and Schmid (2010), which determined Bolivia to be among the ten countries with the maximum solar irradiation for fixed optimally tilted PV systems.
In the study of Jacobson et al. (2017), Bolivia’s all-purpose end load would be covered by 22% wind energy, 15% geothermal, 3% hydropower, 49% solar PV, and 10% CSP. For the whole of South America, Löffler et al. (2017), find roughly 40% shares of both hydropower and solar PV, with the remaining 10% covered by wind offshore and onshore.
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).
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.
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.
More recently, Bolivia’s national electricity company (ENDE) projected that by 2025, 74% of the installed capacity will be from hydropower, 4% from non-hydro renewables energy, 12% from combined cycle plants, and 10% from thermal power plants (ENDE, 2016). These projections, though, only take into consideration the SIN.
