Venezuela often experiences shifts in its energy landscapes due to political, economic, and infrastructural challenges. The country holds the largest proven oil reserves, providing over 300 billion barrels. Crude oil output has dropped from over 3 million barrels a day to under 800,000 barrels a day. This stems from underinvestment, sanctions, and aging infrastructure. PDVSA,

With the frequent blackouts in Venezuela, households and industries are increasingly using thermoelectric generators for sustainability. The use of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) running on fossil fuels impacts the energy sector in various ways. Its widespread use raises domestic consumption of fossil fuels that strains the already declining oil production. Venezuela relies on oil exports for
