Bolivia Total Energy Production & Consumption
Total energy consumption has been increasing by 3.6%/year since 2010 to 10.6 Mtoe in 2025. It grew by over 4%/year from 2010 to 2019, fell by 17% in 2020 and rebounded strongly in 2021 and 2022 (+12%/year on average), exceeding its pre-crisis level in 2022. Consumption per capita is low, at 0.8 toe in 2025, i.e. 39% below the Latin America average (1.4 toe).
Oil covered 47% of primary energy consumption in 2025 (+3 pp since 2010), followed by gas (40%, stable since 2010), biomass (10%, -3 pp), hydropower (3%, stable) and wind and solar (less than 1%).

Bolivia Natural Gas Production & Consumption
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.
Gas exports have been decreasing by around 11% per year since a peak at 18 bcm in 2014, following the decline in gas production, reaching 4.9 bcm in 2025. They were split between Brazil (94%) and Argentina (6%) in 2025.

Bolivia Renewable in % Electricity Production
The Electricity Sector Expansion Plan (March 2025) plans to add 5.29 GW of new renewable capacity by 2050. It aims to raise the share of renewable power generation to 75% by 2035 (intermediate target of 65% by 2031). This 75% target was confirmed in Bolivia's NDC 3.0 released in September 2025.
The Reference Electric Plan of the Plurinational State of Bolivia aims to build 2.372 GW of renewable capacity by 2035 (1.26 GW of solar, 600 MW of hydro, 412 MW of wind and 100 MW of geothermal). In 2025, renewables covered 32% of the power mix (+5 pp since 2015).

Bolivia GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
The third NDC (2026) does not include a global GHG emissions cut target by 2035. It defines a set of sectoral goals that integrate mitigation and adaptation actions, as well as joint commitments, depending on the level of international cooperation and financial support to Bolivia.
A large part of the attenuation effort is expected to come from forestry, followed by agriculture, and to a lesser extend from energy and waste.
