Paraguay, with a 100% renewable energy mix based on hydroelectric power, is seeking to advance toward an energy transition that diversifies its power generation with natural gas and non-conventional renewable sources. The construction of a natural gas pipeline from Argentina, combined with the opening of the electricity market to the private sector, represents a strategic opportunity to modernize the grid, improve electricity distribution, and establish itself as a competitive and sustainable regional energy hub.

Paraguay, a country with an energy mix historically dominated by hydropower, faces a critical challenge by 2030: meeting rapidly growing energy demand while ensuring sustainability, energy security, and economic development. With almost total reliance on the Itaipú, Yacyretá, and Acaray dams, which generate 100% of the country’s electricity, Paraguay boasts a unique renewable energy mix.
