ECUADOREAN POWER SECTOR
The Ministry of Energy and Renewable Resources (MEER) is responsible for power sector planning, renewable energies and energy efficiency. The public sector and the
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.
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).
Ecuador is experiencing power generation shortages in 2023, and analysts expect them to extend to 2024. The Energy Ministry and CELEC plan to issue tenders to add additional generation. Future projects under consideration include hydro, geothermal, wind, and biomass.
The Energy Ministry released tenders in 2021 for a 500 MW renewable block (wind, biomass, solar), 400 MW Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCCP), and a Northeast Transmission System to supply the Ecuadorian oil system. The Energy Ministry has not yet awarded the contracts.
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.
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.
