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 is Ecuador transforming the energy sector?
Ecuador is undergoing massive change in the energy sector. The country is moving from a heavy reliance on fossil fuels to nearly complete self-sufficiency through renewable energies – particularly hydroelectric power.
Why did the new energy plan not work in Ecuador?
The belief that promoted this new Plan was that the market, through its own forces, principles and dynamism, would encourage new companies to invest in electricity generation. However, the results were not satisfactory in Ecuador due to bothinsufficient interest of new companies and lack of fresh capital ( CONELEC, 2007a ).
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.
How much energy did Ecuador lose in ?
According to Ecuador’s Central Bank, power outages caused economic losses of about $2 billion in . In , Ecuador’s generation capacity was 9,255 megawatts (MW), of which 5,686 MW (61 percent) was renewable energy sources, and 3,569 MW (39 percent) was non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas).
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).
