In this paper, the collapse of Venezuela's electricity system is analyzed. Two well-known recovery plans, the Venezuelan Electricity Sector Recovery Plan (VESRP) and the Country Plan Electricity (CPE), are described in detail, and their challenges are discussed in the context of the energy transition paradigm.
Rebuilding Venezuela's electricity sector will need to prioritize the restoration of essential public services. This process should not be delayed by broader institutional and management reform. For this reason, a first step should require a project manager and technical team tasked with assessing and overseeing emergency repair o r installation.
Since 2013, Venezuela has been confronting a profound political, social, and economic crisis with a strong negative impact on the country's energy sector. The crisis has severely affected the production of oil, natural gas, fuels, and electricity (Monaldi et al., 2021).
The energy sector in Venezuela has fallen into a phase of stagnation – or regression – due to the mismanagement of resources and an intense policy of subsidies with political aim. As a result, in 2014 the country reported to have a fiscal breakeven point of more than 100 $/bbl (Black gold deficits, 2014), one of the highest in the world.
The power sector is part of the broader Venezuelan economy. As such, in order to achieve reform it will have to compete for financial resources for reconstruction and operation, as well as for priority treatment when it comes to difficult political decisions, such as rationalizing subsidies and reducing theft and corruption.
