Bolivia Photosynthetic Energy Storage Project

In Latin America, Bolivia is taking some first small steps to develop small storage energy systems to support the national grid. The solar plant Cobija in the northwestern part of Bolivia first connected to the grid in September 2014 and has a 5 MW capacity. Bolivia''s largest lithium-ion battery storage system is nearing completion on a shared photovoltaic solar site. According to the World Energy Trade portal, the project involves partners such as Jinko, SMA and the battery …

Should Bolivia use solar energy to generate synthetic fuels?

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.

What will be Bolivia's energy transition?

This transition for Bolivia would be driven by solar PV based electricity and high electrification across all energy sectors.

What type of energy system does Bolivia use?

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).

Can solar PV reduce energy poverty in Bolivia?

These efficiency savings can be estimated to about 22%, 14%, and 26% for BPS-1, BPS-2, and BPS-3, respectively. Furthermore, large-scale development of solar PV, particularly in off-grid communities, can serve to reduce energy poverty in Bolivia (Sovacool, 2012).

How much solar power does Bolivia have?

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.

Does Bolivia have a lithium resource?

Given that Bolivia’s PT region is home to the largest lithium reserve in the world (Sauer et al., 2015), development of cost of Bolivia’s own lithium usage as extraction of this resource develops may influence decision makers regarding lithium applications in the Bolivian energy system.
