The latest report from the Agency of Electricity Regulation and Control (Agencia de Regulación y Control de Electricidad, ARCONEL) indicates that the current PV energy capacity in Ecuador is 27.63 MW . This number represents approximately 0.32% of the effective power produced by renewable and nonrenewable sources.
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. According to Ecuador’s Central Bank, power outages caused economic losses of about $2 billion in 2024.
Moraes identified factors influencing electricity distribution companies to adopt distributed PV energy technology in Brazil. In this case, the cost of electricity, generation capacity, and PV energy are notable of the 23 barriers analysed.
