Based on what has been described, it is identified that there is a high potential for electricity generation in Ecuador, especially the types of projects and specific places to start them up by the central state and radicalize the energy transition.
Thus, the Agency of Regulation and Control of Energy and Nonrenewable Natural Resources is working together with the Ministry to ensure a modernization capable of handling the new challenges oriented to achieve a comprehensive upgrade of the entire Ecuadorian energy sector.
In this research, an analysis of the electricity market in Ecuador is carried out, a portfolio of projects by source is presented, which are structured in maps with a view to an energy transition according to the official data provided.
The Ecuadorian electricity sector is considered strategic due to its direct influence with the development productive of the country. In Ecuador for the year 2020, the generation capacity registered in the national territory was 8712.29 MW of NP (nominal power) and 8095.25 MW of PE (Effective power). The generation sources are presented in Table 1.
1. Policy Ecuador’s 2008 Constitution explicitly states that the government will promote the use of clean and alternative energy sources, in addition to energy efficiency, while providing access to public services, preserving the environment and maintaining food and water security, among others.
This becomes an important strategic component within the Ecuadorian electricity production system. However, analyzed source by source, the greatest contribution is hydroelectric with 5064.16 MW of effective power of the total of 5254.95 MW, which implies 96.36% of the total renewable energy.
