The Paraguayan Chaco must launch power generation, transmission and distribution projects within five years to avoid supply constraints, warns Cavialpa president Paul Sarubbi.

Cavialpa advocates raising Paraguay’s annual infrastructure investment from about US$1 billion to US$2 billion–US$2.2 billion through political will and private capital, while prioritizing public-budget investment. Each public guarani could mobilize four to five private guaranis, helping preserve a road network valued at more than US$12 billion and a sector that supports nearly 300,000 workers and their families. Uruguay is cited as a regional model; the Bioceanic Corridor connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, and participation in the organization’s October 20 forum will be free with registration.
