The policy is expected to enhance Paraguay's energy resilience, foster innovation, and contribute to global sustainability goals. Paraguay has long been known for its reliance on renewable energy. Nearly 100% of its electricity is generated from hydropower, mainly through the Itaipu and Yacyretá dams.

By relying on natural gas in the short term, Paraguay can reduce its dependence on coal and oil while ramping up its investments in solar, hydrogen, and bioenergy. Paraguay's ambitious energy policy is a bold step toward a more sustainable future, but it also comes with challenges.
In addition to its focus on renewables, Paraguay is also looking to natural gas as a transitional energy source. The country's new energy policy includes a project to integrate natural gas into its energy matrix. This would provide a reliable alternative to hydrocarbons while renewable technologies continue to scale.
Understanding what is needed for Paraguay to decarbonize will inform the political choices surrounding the renegotiation of the tarifs, among other issues at stake in the renegotiation of Annex C.
