Only after the legal framework is in place could the Energy Ministry issue a public procurement for the first nuclear power plant in Ecuador.
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).
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.
Where does Ecuador's electricity come from?
Ecuador’s state-owned electricity company, CELEC EP, imports electricity from neighboring Colombia. CELEC is also increasing diesel purchases from Petroecuador to power its thermal electric power plants. Ecuador had a peak demand of 5,110 MW in May , and according to CENACE, electricity demand grows by 360 MW every year.
When will Ecuador start constructing a solar power plant?
In , the Energy Ministry released tenders 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. From these tenders, only the Villonaco project has started construction as of August .
What is Ecuador's nuclear energy plan?
Ecuador’s nuclear energy plan contemplates a 300 MW small modular reactor in the medium term and a 1 GW reactor in the long term. 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.
