As for the weekend, Saturday the 25th and Friday the 26th, the Government Portfolio has indicated that the cuts will be suspended in order to conserve energy.

The shutdowns have been suspended due to the change in command, but will they resume this Friday, November 24, when there is a new president?

This Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd, power outages have been suspended due to the presidential inauguration of Daniel Noboa, which will take place in the National Assembly.

Ecuador’s electricity curtailment began on October 27, 2023 and has since been suspended for several days, depending on the availability of generation during this dry season.

In these 30 months, we have mobilized private investments for the development of the energy sector,” said Lasso.
