Bolivia has no data-center-specific siting, permitting, or utility statute; a data-center project is governed by the general investment framework of Ley No. 516, Ley de Promoción de Inversiones, of 4 April 2014.

That law sets the general legal and institutional framework for promoting investment in Bolivia and grants general and specific incentives to productive activities the sectoral rules designate, without naming information technology or data infrastructure as a distinct priority sector, and no provision addresses electricity grid interconnection, water use, or air emissions specifically.
