This June 7, during the eighteenth press conference held by the Zonal Government of Guayaquil, the Minister of Energy and Mines (e), Roberto Luque reported that unscheduled energy rationing is ruled out.

"Hydrological conditions have improved significantly in the country's main hydroelectric plants, which has made it possible to ensure a continuous supply of energy," said the highest authority in the sector.

Furthermore, the minister in charge indicated that, although no unscheduled outages have been recorded, this does not imply that the crisis has ended and the commitment to act transparently ensuring the necessary attention in each sector.

“We are on the verge of a possible dry season, a season of lower water availability. In crisis contexts, we implemented relief measures and have acted diligently on several generating plants that required maintenance. Thanks to these efforts, we have advanced key projects to maintain the efficiency and capacity of our plants,” said Roberto Luque.

The Mazar reservoir will reach its maximum level at the end of July, allowing us to store energy efficiently. The additional power generated by the Paute and Coca Codo hydroelectric plants has also been crucial to meeting energy needs.

In addition, it was announced that the Vice Minister of Electricity will soon visit suppliers in Europe to verify available equipment that could be purchased to cover our electrical needs during the dry season. This initiative is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure a stable and reliable supply of energy.

This State portfolio continues to work with transparency and commitment to ensure that every corner of the country receives the energy it needs.
