This article presents evidence on the importance of prioritizing the fulfilment of the potential of Paraguay's energy sector as an engine of development. The analyses we carry out and present in this article show that prioritizing actions to improve the country's performance in indicators linked to the development goals of the 2030 Agenda proposed by the SDGs, Paraguay could be- nefit from systemic impacts in various areas of development, some of which are lagging behind. Three of the four objectives with the greatest influence in meeting systemic development goals are energy sector-related goals. The article presents the usefulness of the implementation of impact analysis methodologies in the Paraguayan context and proposes avenues to delve into the line of research presented.
