Electricity capacity in Ecuador 

Electricity generation in Ecuador is largely characterized by hydroelectricity, with 85.41% of the country’s electricity being produced by this source in 2022. However, new capacity is expected to be mainly from wind and solar power in the next decade. 

Since the first renewable device registration in May 2023, Ecuador’s I-REC(E) issuance is growing fast, showing increasing interest from local consumers and generators for the use of I-REC(E) certificates, promoting the country’s renewable energy potential.
