With 92% renewable electricity generation in 2023 (National Energy Regulation data), the country now aims to stabilize its grid through advanced storage solutions. The latest tender includes 150 MW of hybrid projects combining solar PV with battery systems – a first in South America. . In 2024, Ecuador's generation capacity was 9,255 megawatts (MW), of which 5,686 MW (61 percent) was renewable energy sources, and 3,569 MW (39 percent) was non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas). As of 2021, the country generated a substantial 79% of its electricity from hydropower, owing to its mountainous terrain. . As the solar power market in Ecuador grows, there is an increasing need to leverage solar energy storage to complement solar generation.
