What are the energy policies in Ecuador?

Energy policies in Ecuador emphasize the need to diversify energy sources. In Ecuador, energy subsidies are a barrier to achieving a diversified energy mix. The hydroelectric resource compromises the implementation of renewable energies. The adoption of renewable technologies is conditioned to local factors.

Is it important to rely on fuels for electricity generation in Ecuador?

In Ecuador, it is not considered important to rely on fuels for electricity generation since there is a stable guarantee for sustainable energy; however, it cannot be ruled out that cost is an obstacle for RE .

How important is installed power in Ecuador?

In the Ecuadorian case, the use of installed power is growing, with special attention to large power plants, as exemplified by the Coca Codo Sinclair project, with 1500 MW . Projects currently at risk of erosion that affect feed flows expose the fragility of a poorly diversified system.

What is the Current PV energy capacity in Ecuador?

The latest report from the Agency of Electricity Regulation and Control (Agencia de Regulación y Control de Electricidad, ARCONEL) indicates that the current PV energy capacity in Ecuador is 27.63 MW . This number represents approximately 0.32% of the effective power produced by renewable and nonrenewable sources.

How much power does Ecuador need a year?

Electricity demand grows by 200 MW every year, meaning Ecuador should add 250 MW or 300 MW of new power generation each year. However, Ecuador has added minimal additional generation in the last three years.

How much energy does Ecuador produce in 2022?

In 2022, Ecuador’s generation capacity was 8,864 MW, of which 5,425 MW (61 percent) corresponded to renewable energy and 3,438 MW (39 percent) to non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas).
