Overview
This analysis includes a comprehensive Bolivia energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.
Highlights
- The country targets 75% of renewables in the power mix by 2035.
- ENDE controls around 75% of the power capacity and around half of the distribution.
- YPFB controls the oil and gas pipeline networks.
- Oil and gas production has been decreasing since 2014.
- Electricity is growing rapidly (around 5%/year since 2020).
- Oil and gas cover 79% of total energy consumption.
- Transport absorbs over half of the final consumption, and households are the largest electricity consumers.
- Energy prices are regulated.
- By 2050, the country aims to add 5.3 GW of renewables, of which 3 GW of hydro, and to invest up USD26bn in green hydrogen.
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Ministry of Hydrocarbons and Energies supervises the energy policy and the development of the energy sector in the country through five vice ministries: Exploration and Exploitation of Energy Resources (development of exploratory projects oil and gas projects), Industrialisation, Marketing, Transport, and Storage of Hydrocarbons (export, trade, storage, and transportation of oil and gas), E
Energy Companies
Oil:
In 2024, the largest crude oil producer was the Spanish energy group Repsol, which injected 32% of crude oil into the pipeline system, followed by YPFB (Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales Bolivianos, 100% state owned), with a share of 27%, TotalEnergies (22%) and Petrobras (19%).
Energy Supply & Demand
Gas:
The production of natural gas has been on a consistent decline of around 7%/year since 2014, reaching 10 bcm in 2025. It grew rapidly between 2000 and 2014, increasing from 3.3 bcm to 22.4 bcm.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Industry:
According to the Electricity Code, the electricity tariffs of all the companies are subject to prior approval: they are intended to be calculated on the basis of costs and a profitability rate of 9%.
Electricity prices in industry are roughly stable in 2025 around USD 11c/kWh. This is around half the price than in Chile (2025) and 65% higher than in Argentina (2025).
Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
Around 303 MW of power plants are under construction, with 73% from solar and 27% from hydropower. Around 10 GW are currently under development, with around 90% being hydro projects, 8% gas fired projects, and 4% of the remainder are wind, solar, and geothermal projects.
