Does Ecuador need a balance between public and private investment?
During several years, Ecuador’s energy sector was composed mainly by public utilities; however, there is the necessity of pursuing a balance between public and private investment in the energy sector. The new policies have been conceived for achieving this important challenge.
How much electricity does Ecuador need?
Ecuador had a peak demand of 5,110 MW in May , and according to CENACE, electricity demand grows by 360 MW every year. Ecuador’s energy shortage could result in a recurrence of power outages, particularly in the dry season of September through December. Ecuador has added minimal generation in recent years.
Will Ecuador get a nuclear power plant?
In May , Ecuador became a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The next step is to enact the legal framework to oversee and regulate nuclear energy. Only after the legal framework is in place could the Energy Ministry issue a public procurement for the first nuclear power plant in Ecuador.
How has Ecuador's energy consumption changed over the years?
Ecuador’s energy production increased by a compounded growth rate of 0.5% per year from to , and renewables accounted for most of the increase. The country's energy consumption also increased by a compounded growth rate of 0.5% per year over the same period, down from 4.9% per year the decade prior.
Does Ecuador have a natural gas market?
Ecuador's natural gas market is less developed than its oil sector; it has a 0.9% share of total energy production and 1.7% share of energy consumption (Figure 1). Natural gas in Ecuador is mostly used by the industry sector1.
What type of energy does Ecuador use?
Ecuador’s renewable energy is comprised of hydro power (5,419 MW), biomass ( MW), wind (71 MW), photovoltaic (29 MW), and biogas (11 MW). Hydroelectric power plants are in three regions: coastal (2 provinces), Andes (9 provinces), and Amazon (4 provinces).
