This transition for Bolivia would be driven by solar PV based electricity and high electrification across all energy sectors.
Similar to the country's total energy system, the power sector relies heavily on natural gas (AEtN, 2016). The electricity network in Bolivia is broken into two classifications: the National Interconnected System (SIN) and the Isolated Systems (SAs).
Residential heating demands in Bolivia are quite low, though they do notably increase throughout the transition as access to energy services increase, except for biomass for cooking, which is phased out by the end of the transition. Heating demands are projected to increase from 52 TWh in 2015 to 205 TWh in 2050. Fig. 12.
Using Bolivia's own excellent solar resources to generate synthetic fuels in BPS-1 and BPS-2 would result in energy independence and security. Due to the lack of GHG emission costs in BPS-3 fuel costs remain for the fossil fuels used in the heat and transport sectors. Fig. 23.
In the study of Jacobson et al. (2017), Bolivia's all-purpose end load would be covered by 22% wind energy, 15% geothermal, 3% hydropower, 49% solar PV, and 10% CSP. For the whole of South America, Löffler et al. (2017), find roughly 40% shares of both hydropower and solar PV, with the remaining 10% covered by wind offshore and onshore.
Heating demand in Bolivia transitions from a system dominated by natural gas and biomass to a largely electrified heating sector. Because of the low cost of renewable electricity, electric based heating will drive the transition for Bolivia's heat sector. Fig. 13.
