Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector is under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works and Communication (MOPC), and more particularly the Vice Ministry of Mines and Energy.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
ANDE (Administración Nacional De Electricidad)is the national electric utility. It is still vertically integrated.
Energy Supply
Oil:
The country's only refinery ceased operating in 2005. Since then, oil product consumption is entirely based on imports, which reached 2.4 Mt in 2020. Oil product imports grew strongly between 2013 and 2018 (11.5% per year) to a peak of 2.7 Mt.
Energy Prices
Oil:
In 2021, the price of motor fuels surged by almost 50% for gasoline to US$1.28/l and by almost 60% for diesel to US$1.35/l, following the sharp global rise in oil prices. The prices of gasoline and diesel increased substantially between 2009 and 2013 to eliminate subsidies, following recommendations of the World Bank.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption stands at 1 toe/capita and electricity consumption at 1 920 kWh/capita (2020), which is 20% below the South American average.
Total energy consumption increased at a rapid pace between 2013 and 2018 (8%/year) to 7.3 Mtoe, and has slowly declined since then (-2%/year), reaching 7 Mtoe in 2020.

Issues & Prospects
Gas:
An agreement between Bolivia and Paraguay was signed in 2019 for the construction of a 2.2-3.6 bcm/year gas pipeline between the south of Bolivia and Asunción. It may be commissioned in 2024 at the earliest.
