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.

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.

Does Ecuador use solar energy?

Despite this substantial solar potential in Ecuador, PV use remains marginal. 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 .

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 .

Could solar power change Ecuador's energy mix?

That would have the potential to radically alter Ecuador’s energy mix. Ecuador’s Master Plan for Electricity (PME) 2018-2027 outlines energy initiatives led by the Ministry of Energy and Non-Renewable Natural Resources (MERNNR). Despite some setbacks due to Covid-19, governmental support for new solar projects increased during 2020.

Will El Aromo boost Ecuador's solar power?

Ecuador’s Energy Makeup El Aromo is set to boost Ecuador’s solar capacity almost tenfold, adding 258MW to the current output of 27MW. While this reflects a dramatic increase, it represents only a very small part of the national energy mix.
