Ecuador’s energy system has been facing significant challenges in recent years, particularly with the decline in hydropower generation caused by climate change and frequent power outages. In this context, household energy storage systems, which enhance energy independence and alleviate grid. How much electricity does Ecuador need?Ecuador had a peak demand of 5,110 MW in May 2025, 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 2024?According to Ecuador’s Central Bank, power outages caused economic losses of about $2 billion in 2024. In 2024, 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 (1550 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).
Why is Ecuador vulnerable to power disruptions in 2024?Chronic underinvestment in the electricity sector has made Ecuador vulnerable to power disruptions. During a prolonged dry season in 2024, Ecuador’s over-reliance on hydropower (78 percent of total generation) resulted in daily blackouts of up to 14 hours, hurting economic activity.
What are the key components of green hydrogen production in Ecuador?The Government of Ecuador released its green hydrogen production roadmap and strategy. Key components include research, development, innovation, regulation, infrastructure, and international cooperation. Source: H2 N
