Paraguay. The Latin American Energy Organization (Olade) was in Paraguay on a mission of in-depth review of the energy sector.At the end of his stay in this nation, he concluded that the National Electricity Administration (Ande) should increase the electricity tariff to reduce losses, as well as replace incandescent lamps with low-consumption lamps and finally urgently create a Ministry of Mines and Energy to unify the coordination of the sector.
According to the study "it is convenient to implement a tariff adjustment in accordance with the criteria of Olade, in such a way that it reflects the costs of providing the service, if quality is to be offered to users." However, no percentages of this adjustment are mentioned.
The international organization was concerned about the excessive use of air conditioning and recommended "regulating the operating temperature and air conditioning tightness in public places and institutions, which are the ones who must set an example of good use of energy," adding that "in the long term you must have an energy efficiency plan."
