The first Wind Atlas in Bolivia has been recently launched, a new tool that illustrates wind resource potential in any geographic point in the country.
This invention has resulted from a joint effort between the company Transportadora de Electricidad (TDE), the International Finance Corporation (IFC)- who financed the development of this work, and the international company 3TIER, which has extensive experience in weather simulation models.
By achieving this, Bolivia became part of a group of countries that have valuable information on its wind potential. This tool opens the stage to harness wind energy, both for rural areas and for its exploitation at a commercial level, as it will highlight areas of exceptional wind corridors in the provinces of Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, La Paz, among others.
