Analysis# Bolivia Renewable Energy Consumption
Bolivia's renewable energy consumption reached 12.8% of total energy in 2021, marking a dramatic decline from its 1991 peak of 38.1%. Over the 31-year period from 1990 to 2021, renewable energy's share contracted by 65.4 percentage points, reflecting a fundamental shift in the country's energy mix toward fossil fuels and non-renewable sources.
The downward trend accelerated after 2012, when renewables accounted for 17.4% of consumption. Between 2012 and 2021, the share fell nearly 5 percentage points, with only a temporary uptick to 16.9% in 2020. The 2021 figure represents both the lowest point in the dataset and suggests continued pressure on renewable energy development in Bolivia's energy portfolio.
