Bolivia creates net metering scheme for medium-voltage distributed generation

Bolivia's government has approved Supreme Decree 5549, establishing a medium-scale distributed generation category for renewable projects between 1 MW and 6 MW. This decree simplifies procedures for connecting to medium-voltage networks, sets a remuneration scheme for energy injected into the system, and aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the electricity market. It promotes self-consumption, decentralization of generation, and the use of resources such as solar, hydropower, and biomass. Implementation will follow a phased approach, starting with the private sector and later extending to commercial and residential users.
