 25APR24-💡 "The duration of power outages will be reduced throughout the national territory. For example, the Quito Electric Company will reduce service cuts from 6 to 4 hours. This was mentioned by the Minister of Energy, Roberto Luque, this April 25. The minister commented that the reduction in the time of the cuts is possible thanks to the fact that the Mazar reservoir increased approximately one meter compared to the conditions on April 24.

He also indicated that the hydrological conditions in Paute and Mazar contribute to the reservoir continuing to fill, which leads to decreases in electrical suspensions throughout the national territory. “We analyze all the technical alternatives to implement changes in the schedules of energy outages.

"We seek to ensure that the decisions do not substantially harm Ecuadorian families," Luque said. Hydroelectric generation was at 73%.

The presence of prolonged rainfall leads to an increase in flow levels, however, the energy emergency persists, which is why immediate action mechanisms are implemented such as the prioritization of economic resources for the installation of 37 generation units in Quevedo and Santo Domingo...." -
