Energy in Paraguay is primarily sourced from hydropower, with pivotal projects like the Itaipu Dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric facilities. This reliance underscores the need for a robust infrastructure, including efficient transmission networks and distribution systems, to leverage the country's renewable resources fully.
Paraguay’s National Energy Policy 2016-2040 recognises the importance of the energy sector for economic growth by increasing the country’s productivity and promoting sustainable development. The energy sector is a key contributor to human development (UNDP, 2020) and job creation.
These aspects are clearly highlighted in Paraguay’s National Energy Policy 2016-2040 and, more recently, in concrete actions outlined in the Energy Agenda 2019-2023, which focuses on the key pillars for enhancing energy security through the use of renewables, encouraging renewable-powered electrification and promoting sustainable mobility.
Additional renewable capacity by 2025 Paraguay’s Development Finance Agency (AFD) has access to concessional and non-reimbursable resources from the GCF to finance renewable energy and energy eficiency projects.
In recent years, the share of fossil fuels in Paraguay’s energy mix has grown. The country’s increasing dependence on these fuels has resulted in rising greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector, adversely afecting Paraguay’s energy security and climate commitments.
Paraguay is currently co-chairing, pro tempore, the Steering Committee of the GCF Readiness Project on Advancing a Regional Approach to Electric Mobility in Latin America. The country is also preparing a Green Hydrogen Road Map, following the guidelines of the National Energy Policy and, more specifically, the Sustainable Energy agenda 2019-2023.
