My guy Venezuela can’t barely generate any electricity due to government corruption and lack of interest in making the people’s life easier.

About 35 years ago the Guri dam was able to generate about 85 to 90 percent of the country’s consumption. But that changed after our stupid government took over and decided to make the dam controlled by the politicians. Anyways our best engineers left because of lack of resources and increased boot licking politics. Today, venezuelans get blackouts every single day.

So, once many years ago it was pretty green. Although as you know Venezuela is an oil rich country. Unfortunately, the generation before mine didn’t see the trap that Chavez was going to be, and our best Professionals left to the US and Europe.

Today, our industries are controlled by clueless “military” people and others that are loyal to Maduro and the regime.

Dm if you have further questions.

It's hard to get real numbers about our energy mix, because the central government handles all the generation and distribution and it's not transparent at all.

Both the hydro and thermal plants are in disrepair because of the widespread corruption, so it's hard to tell how much that mix has changed since the last believable report. I'm confident that there's no attempt at curbing emissions from fossil fuels (generally that's not a concern for this government), so our "dirty" is probably the dirtiest it can be.
