Propuesta regulatoria para la implementación de subastas en el sector eléctrico ecuatoriano

Abstract

This work offers a regulatory proposal for the application of auctions in the Ecuadorian electricity sector, in generation and transmission projects, based on the analysis of the different auction modalities existing in the international market as well as bidding procedures in countries such as: Peru, Argentina, Brazil and Colombia.

For the determination of the tender stages applicable in Ecuador, the aspects that the countries under analysis have in common are identified, to recognize a regulatory trend. As a result, the horizon of the selection process is obtained.

A series of legal articles from Ecuador are presented in which the feasibility of private investment being part of the development of national projects can be observed.

Finally, the regulatory proposal has a systematic process which acts as a guide when developing the auction, presenting the different cases and difficulties that may occur during its execution, a set of technical and regulatory criteria that must be taken into account for the investor selection and a form documenting the evolution of the process by participant up to the moment of award.
