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
Resources:
Although poorly endowed with hydrocarbon resources, Paraguay has a large hydroelectric potential (economically exploitable resources estimated at 68 TWh) that is already well developed both on a national level and in collaboration with Mercosur countries.
Energy Prices
Electricity:
Electricity tariffs are not subject to tax. Since 1995 (end of the monopoly) electricity prices have been based on fixed costs. The large share of hydropower results in relatively low power prices compared to other countries in South America.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption stands at 1.0 toe/capita and 1 820 kWh/capita for electricity (2019).
Total energy consumption increased at a rapid pace between 2013 and 2017 (9%/year), and has slowed down since then (2%/year), reaching 7.3 Mtoe in 2019.

Issues & Prospects
Electricity:
The last Generation Master Plan (2021 - 2040) of ANPE relies on an annual increase of 5.8%/year in electricity consumption until 2030 and between 4.4 and 5.8%/year between 2031 and 2040, according to 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.
