Through the Energía Sostenible para Ecuador (ESE) project, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is partnering with the Government of Ecuador to increase the energy sector's efficiency and sustainability while enhancing social inclusion, economic opportunities, and environmental sustainability. ESE works with the government to design and implement a 500 megawatt (MW) renewable energy competitive procurement and advance energy policies that promote changes in the current regulatory framework to increase renewable energy technologies. ESE experts help improve medium- and long-term planning to support the integration of future renewables and increase the resilience of the sector to climate change impacts. ESE is also supporting the system operator to develop a reserve strategy to minimize financial losses and build confidence for further renewable energy investments. ESE works with the government, the private sector, and development and local finance institutions to mobilize financing, design, and deploy sustainable energy technologies for shrimp farmers, rural Indigenous communities, and people with disabilities.
