Ecuador had a peak demand of 5,110 MW in May 2025, and according to CENACE, electricity demand grows by 360 MW every year. Ecuador's energy shortage could result in a recurrence of power outages, particularly in the dry season of September through December. Ecuador has added minimal generation in recent years.
During a prolonged dry season in 2024, Ecuador's over-reliance on hydropower (78 percent of total generation) resulted in daily blackouts of up to 14 hours, hurting economic activity. According to Ecuador's Central Bank, power outages caused economic losses of about $2 billion in 2024.
Ecuador's renewable energy is comprised of hydro power (5,419 MW), biomass (1550 MW), wind (71 MW), photovoltaic (29 MW), and biogas (11 MW). Hydroelectric power plants are in three regions: coastal (2 provinces), Andes (9 provinces), and Amazon (4 provinces).
Chronic underinvestment in the electricity sector has made Ecuador vulnerable to power disruptions. During a prolonged dry season in 2024, Ecuador's over-reliance on hydropower (78 percent of total generation) resulted in daily blackouts of up to 14 hours, hurting economic activity.

Bangladesh's power sector relies heavily on gas. Currently, approximately 39 % of the installed power capacity is gas-based, 18 % is coal-based, 23 % is liquid fuel-based, 3 % is imported, 4 % is renewable energy, and 9 % is capitve power .
Bangladesh's power generation is based on fossil fuels, with natural gas contributing 65 % of power generation and a quarter of the generation coming from liquid fuel, while the rest comes from hydropower, coal, imported power, and renewables; more recently, LNG has been introduced into the energy mix .
120GW of RE generation. If a similar ra-tio were to be considered for Bangla-desh's short-term RE aspirations (~1GW in the next three years), the re-sulting energy storage requirements would amount to 250MW/ 500MWh of energy storage.
ems.Section 2.Introduction Bangladesh's electricity supply is dominated by gas-fired power plants, historically fueled by the c untry's domestic gas fields. As of the end of 2022, the country has a generation capacity of 23.2GW, 50% of which comes from gas-fired power plants, followed by oil-fired power plants (33%) and
