Analysis# Paraguay Renewable Energy Consumption
Paraguay's renewable energy consumption reached 58.8% of total energy in 2021, marking the lowest point in the 32-year dataset. The country's peak occurred three decades earlier at 79.2% in 1991, representing a substantial 25.1% decline since 1990. This downward shift reflects Paraguay's growing reliance on non-renewable energy sources despite maintaining one of the world's highest renewable energy shares.
The trend over the past decade reveals consistent erosion, with renewable consumption falling from 63.4% in 2012 to the 2021 low. Minor fluctuations between 2016 and 2020—peaking at 62.5% in 2016—offered brief respite, but the final year's drop to 58.8% suggests continued pressure on the renewable sector. Ongoing declines indicate Paraguay faces mounting challenges in sustaining its renewable energy dominance amid expanding energy demands.
