In 2009, the Chávez administration declared a national electric emergency and invested $100 billion US dollars towards solving it. The Chávez administration "distributed million-dollar contracts without bidding that enriched high officials of his government and the works were never built", according to Univision. stated that the government awarded electrical contracts to companies with little experience in the energy sector. Billions of dollars were award. [pdf]
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
Several factors have severely hampered Venezuela's energy sector, most notably government mismanagement, international sanctions, and the country's economic crisis.
Considering that in 2016 the Venezuelan total electricity demand was around 18,300 MW there is a significant deficit of 1800 MW , . Table 2, Table 3 present some details of the current advances of the main hydro and thermoelectric on-going projects in Venezuela as well as the investments made for their development.
The Venezuelan energy framework Venezuela plays an important role in global energy markets. Along with the rest of Latin American countries, it has evidenced different stages on its energy evolution. The understanding of some relevant facts about this sector is needed to evaluate current conditions and challenges.
Venezuela's restrictive economic policies (Figure 3) have resulted in a decrease in inflation-adjusted GDP per capita, which has led to a decrease in energy consumption (Figure 4). Venezuela has the refining capacity to meet its domestic demand, but the country’s refineries are in poor condition.
The energy imbalance in Venezuela and the effects on the population. Lack of energy policy programs to introduce renewable energies. Recommendations to implement renewable energy projects. Need for an energy transition towards sustainability.

In laminated structural electrodes the material possesses an intrinsic and function. Such batteries are also called massless batteries, since in theory vehicle body parts could also store energy thus not adding any additional weight to the vehicle as additional batteries would not be needed. An example for such batteries are those based on a zinc , manganeseoxide and a fiber/ polymer composite . The structural [pdf]
This type of batteries is commonly referred to as “structural batteries”. Two general methods have been explored to develop structural batteries: (1) integrating batteries with light and strong external reinforcements, and (2) introducing multifunctional materials as battery components to make energy storage devices themselves structurally robust.
The practical application of rigid structural batteries relies on addressing two critical core challenges: achieving structural and electrochemical performance that aligns with the multifunctional efficiency design principle (i.e., η s + η d> 1) through advanced materials, technological development, and a rational battery design.
Although not intentionally designed for structural batteries, some of them showed potential applications in structural energy storage.
For structural batteries, the solid nature indicates that they can enhance not only the tensile and compressive properties of a battery, but also load-transfer between different layers and thus improve flexural properties.
The structural design of the battery significantly influences its flexibility. Variations in the structural designs of the batte-ries result in them experiencing different forces during deformation, including the location of the force and the direction and magnitude of the stress. To further Figure 3.
However, the development of flexible bat-teries is largely focused on advanced electrodes or electrolytes, and little attention is paid to the structural design. In this perspective, we highlight the structural design strategies and corresponding requirements of flexible batteries for typical flexible electronic de-vices.
