  • Which companies make electricity in Bolivia?
  • These companies fall under ENDE (the National Electricity Company). Bolivia’s electricity production is based on thermoelectricity (71 percent), hydroelectricity (20 precent), and solar and wind (9 percent). The best sales prospects are with hydrocarbons: natural gas-related machinery, equipment, and production.
  • Can US companies sell equipment to Bolivia?
  • Several U.S. companies have been successful selling supporting machinery and equipment to Bolivia. The likely best sales prospects in the electricity subsector include machinery (mainly thermo and hydro turbines), equipment, and other technology for thermoelectric and hydroelectric projects.
  • How many electricity projects are there in Bolivia?
  • Bolivia currently has over a dozen electricity generation projects (hydroelectric, solar, combined cycle, and geothermic) and transmission line projects in progress and over 30 projects under study, including the construction of two biomass power plants. Bolivia plans to invest billions towards expanding its electric grid through 2025.
  • Why did Bolivia become a net importer of fuel in 2022?
  • After 30 years of being a hydrocarbon exporting country, Bolivia became a net importer of fuel as of April 2022. Higher fuel prices and a decade of reduced exploration and production of natural gas are factors to this deficit. Future opportunities may be found in the areas of exploration, drilling, and natural gas production.
  • How much gas does Bolivia produce a day?
  • In the hydrocarbons sector, Bolivia currently produces an average of 36 million cubic meters of gas per day (M Mm3/day), using 12 Mm3/day for domestic consumption, while exporting 15.0 Mm3/day to Brazil and 8 Mm3/day to Argentina. Hydrocarbons accounted for approximately 22 percent of Bolivia’s exports, or $2.9 billion, in 2022.
