Cuban authorities say lightning struck a crude oil storage tank at the base, sparking a fire that sparked four explosions that injured more than 121 people, with one person dead and 17 missing.. A deadly fire that began at a large oil storage facility in western Cuba spread on Monday, threatening to plunge the island into a deeper energy crisis as it forced officials to shut down a key the.

Energy in Paraguay is primarily sourced from hydropower, with pivotal projects like the Itaipu Dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric facilities. This reliance underscores the need for a robust infrastructure, including efficient transmission networks and distribution systems, to leverage the country's renewable resources fully.
With a focus on clean energy production and partnerships with key stakeholders, Atome Energy is setting the stage for a significant transformation in Paraguay’s energy landscape. Atome Energy’s Paraguay project is centered around the production of green hydrogen and ammonia, two vital components in the quest for clean energy solutions.
[español] • [português] This page is part of Global Energy Monitor 's Latin America Energy Portal. In 2020, hydro power provided 100% of Paraguay's electricity and roughly half of the country's overall energy supply, with biofuels and imported oil accounting for the remainder.
Atome Energy is making waves with its ambitious plans in Paraguay. The green hydrogen and ammonia developer is rapidly progressing on its project in Villeta, and the outlook appears promising.
Permitting and regulation of energy projects is handled by the Viceministry of Mines and Energy. ANDE (Administración Nacional de Electricidad) is the state-owned entity responsible for satisfying Paraguay's electrical needs through generation, transmission, and distribution. Paraguay does not have a national oil company.
Paraguay has assumed various environmental commitments based on international agreements; among them the Paris Agreement and the fight against climate change; commitments reflected in guidelines established in the Energy Policy of the Republic of Paraguay 2040.

The first were installed in 2009, and are not associated with storage. The installed capacity is 13 MW, in particular via the Longoni power plant, inaugurated in 2010. Solar energy is the only renewable energy with significant development potential on the island; the wind potential (22 MW according to a study) would not lead to a significant production because the wind blows only 6 months per year.
