The projects include more than 600 MW of solar capacity paired with over 1,200 MWh of battery storage, plus a new transmission line, with construction set to begin in 2025. Source: Renewables NowWhen will Ecuador start constructing a solar power plant?In 2023, the Energy Ministry released tenders for a 500 MW renewable block (wind, biomass, solar), 400 MW Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCCP), and a Northeast Transmission System to supply the Ecuadorian oil system. From these tenders, only the Villonaco project has started construction as of August 2025.
Will Ecuador get a nuclear power plant?In May 2025, Ecuador became a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The next step is to enact the legal framework to oversee and regulate nuclear energy. Only after the legal framework is in place could the Energy Ministry issue a public procurement for the first nuclear power plant in Ecuador.
Where does Ecuador's electricity come from?Ecuador’s state-owned electricity company, CELEC EP, imports electricity from neighboring Colombia. CELEC is also increasing diesel purchases from Petroecuador to power its thermal electric power plants. Ecuador had a peak demand of 5,110 MW in May 2025, and according to CENACE, electricity demand grows by 360 MW every year.
Will Ecuador build a new hydropower plant in 2025?In 2025, the Government of Ecuador announced plans to build additional hydropower plant capacity in the West where rainfall is plentiful to offset droughts in the East. The 254-MW Toachi Pilaton thermal plant (254 MW) came online in 2025, six years behind schedule.
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).
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 yea
