Colombia reactiva venta de energía a Ecuador

El ministro interino de energía y minas de Ecuador, Roberto Luque, informó hoy que, tras varias conversaciones entre ambos gobiernos, Colombia reactivó su conexión y venta de energía al país vecino con un acuerdo de 6 gigavatios hora (GWh)

“Hemos acordado hoy una compra que va a reducir el déficit de 10,4 GW a 4,2 GW, es decir 6,2 GWh de reducción”, expresó el jefe de la cartera.

Luque recalcó que esta venta ayudará a que los cortes de energía en Ecuador presenten una reducción. “Los cortes para los días martes, miércoles y jueves serán más reducidos y posiblemente estandarizados (…) lo más probables es que no tengamos corte los días viernes, sábado y domingo. Este es el objetivo que vamos a alcanzar con la compra de 6 GWh que le hicimos a Colombia”, resaltó el ministro.

Desde el domingo 14 de abril, se han registrado cortes de energía eléctrica de varias horas diarias, cuyo horario varía dependiendo de la zona y los sectores afectados.

La principal causa de esta situación crítica es la sequía que afecta al embalse de Mazar, el segundo más grande del país, con una capacidad de 410 millones de metros cúbicos de agua. Este embalse alimenta tres centrales hidroeléctricas ubicadas en la cuenca del río Paute, las cuales tienen una capacidad de generación de hasta 1.757 megavatios, abasteciendo aproximadamente un tercio de la demanda nacional de electricidad.
