Ecuador faces the challenge of diversifying its energy matrix, which currently relies heavily on hydropower and remains vulnerable to extreme climate events. To address this, the country is implementing a Master Electricity Plan and a National Energy Transition Strategy, both of which promote the development of non-conventional sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and geothermal energy.
The European Union, through its Global Gateway strategy, aims to mobilize financing, guarantees, and technical assistance for sustainable, high-impact projects that meet rigorous environmental and social standards. This scenario, combined with regulatory strengthening and a portfolio of prioritized projects, creates a strategic opportunity to position Ecuador as an emerging destination for energy investment.
The purpose of this event is to bring together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, as well as international cooperation actors, to showcase Ecuador's progress in its energy transition, promote the exchange of experiences, and explore concrete opportunities for investment and collaboration. Through dialogue and multi-stakeholder coordination, the event seeks to position the country as an attractive destination for the development of sustainable, resilient energy projects that align with the highest environmental and social standards.
