Sergio Arnez

Sergio Arnez is an electrical analyst who has been vocal about the challenges and opportunities associated with distributed generation (GD) in Bolivia's energy sector. He has highlighted the slow progress of GD implementation, noting that currently, only 15 megawatts (MW) of GD capacity are installed in a national demand of 1,700 MW, which is less than 1%. Arnez emphasizes the importance of increasing the share of GD to 10% of total demand and discusses the economic factors that inhibit investment in renewable energy systems, particularly in light of Bolivia's reliance on subsidized natural gas.
