Diagnóstico de la situación de eficiencia energética en el Ecuador y propuestas de nuevas medidas e indicadores.

Abstract

The present project presents a diagnosis of the current situation of Energy Efficiency (EE) in Ecuador where the programs, measures, policies and regulations that have been implemented in the electricity sector are examined, as well as the positioning of the country at the regional level for which an analysis of the progress made in programs and initiatives that have been promoted for energy efficiency in Latin America and the Caribbean is presented, identifying the main barriers that the countries have had to face in the process, for which a list of future actions as concrete long-term solutions. Additionally, a methodology to assess possible energy efficiency measures is presented. The methodology includes guidelines and criteria for the implementation of measures based on a regulatory, technical and economic feasibility study, consisting of three stages: the first stage is an analysis to preselect EE measures that are candidates for be evaluated, in the second, the measures are evaluated under a set of previously defined criteria, within this stage a set of energy performance indicators are identified for monitoring the measures, and finally, the third stage contemplates a feasibility analysis normative.
