Bolivia — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 80 energy assets in Bolivia across 7 layers — the 71st-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 30 power plants, 26 pipelines and 11 oil & gas fields. Operating generation capacity is 2.8 GW, led by gas at 83%.

The companies named on the most assets are YPFB Transporte (19), Bolivian National Electricity CO (ENDE) (11) and YPFB (10), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Bolivia's mapped assets in service predate 1997 (median commissioning year of the 48 with a known date), 13 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Viacha Cement Plant, dating from 1928. 25 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Rositas hydroelectric plant (600 MW).

Operating generation capacity by fuel

Utility-scale sites of 100 MW and above. Distributed generation — rooftop solar especially — is outside the tracker, so this runs below national installed capacity.
