Paraguay has launched its first large-scale solar photovoltaic tender under Law No. 7599/2025, marking a key step in diversifying its electricity mix beyond hydropower. The 140 MW project, supported by the World Bank, includes grid connection via a 220 kV substation and opens the door to long-term renewable PPAs and future hybrid solar-plus-storage developments.

Paraguay’s National Electricity Administration (ANDE) has launched a tender for the construction of the Loma Plata Photovoltaic Solar Power Plant, a 140 MW project located in the Boquerón department.

The facility will connect directly to Paraguay’s National Interconnected System (SIN) through the Loma Plata substation at 220 kV. The preliminary scope includes engineering design, construction, and the operation and maintenance of both the solar plant and its transmission infrastructure.
