Renewable Energy in Ecuador As of 2021, wind and solar development in Ecuador is still largely in the planning phase; however, the Ecuadorian government intends to move forward with wind
The Spanish energy storage company Grenergy has announced a US$2.6bn investment plan for 2023-2026 aiming to promote energy storage within the energy sector. 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 methodology used in the projection of Ecuador's electricity demand, considered variables of a technical, economic and demographic nature ; based on 4 large groups of consumption: residential, commercial, industrial, and public lighting. 3.1. Residential sector demand projection
The cost of electricity, including peak and off-peak rates, significantly impacts the ROI. Energy storage systems can store cheaper off-peak energy for use during expensive peak periods. Subsidies, tax credits, and rebates offered by governments can enhance the financial attractiveness of ESS installations.
The latest annual variation rate of the CPI published in Ecuador at the end of June 2022 was 4.2%. The main source of energy in Ecuador continues to be Petroleum. The abundance of this non-renewable resource has allowed the country to position itself as a net exporter of oil as the most prominent export product.
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.
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. Table 1.
