Highlights
- The country aims at reducing its fossil fuel consumption by 20% and reaching 60% of renewables in its energy mix by 2030.
- Almost all the capacity is based on two multinational hydropower plants: Itaipú with Brazil and Yacyretá with Argentina.
- Paraguay is the largest power exporter in South America and among the 10 largest worldwide.
- Power generation relies almost entirely on hydro.
- Oil product consumption is entirely covered by imports.
- Diesel prices are 20% higher than the average for South America, while electricity prices are among the lowest in the region.
- Biomass and hydropower account for almost two thirds of total energy consumption.
- The transport sector accounts for the largest share of final energy consumption.
- The household sector is the largest electricity consumer.
- A 200 km-long 500 kV transmission line is under construction.
- Four solar projects totalling 500 MW have been announced.
- A 300 MW green hydrogen project is underway.
Institutions & Energy Policy
The energy sector is under the supervision of the Ministry of Public Works and Communication (MOPC), specifically 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 products are entirely imported (2.5 Mt in 2022).
Energy Prices
Oil:
In 2023, gasoline and diesel prices decreased by around 20% to US$0.93/l and US$1.06/l, respectively. These prices peaked in 2021 at US$1.29/l for gasoline and US$1.36/l for diesel. Due to falling global oil prices and government-imposed price caps, prices dropped significantly between 2013 and 2017 (13%/year), before resuming an upward trend.
Energy Consumption
In 2022, per capita energy consumption stood at 1 toe, 20% lower than the average for South America. Per capita electricity consumption reached a peak at 2130 kWh.
Total energy consumption decreased by 3% in 2022 to 7.2 Mtoe, after a 6% progression in 2021. It is now back to its 2019 level.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
The last Generation Master Plan (2021 - 2040) of ANDE projects an annual increase of 5.8%/year in electricity consumption until 2030 and 4.4 to 5.8%/year between 2031 and 2040, depending on the scenario. An additional 2.15 GW of generation capacity is planned on the long term, mainly based on PV (1.6 GW) and batteries.
