Abstract

The change of energy mix is a fact today in Ecuador and 2017 the power generated from renewable energy sources is expected to exceed 50% of the existing conventional generation. The main load centers in the province of Manabí are far between 120 and 400 km from hydroelectric forming the basis of the generation system, consequently resulting in a significant amount of losses in transmission and distribution. Currently many settlements in rural areas of the province are affected by irregularities and poor quality of electricity service. The paper presents an analysis of the quality of electricity service in isolated areas of the municipality Chone and proposes solutions that can improve service quality, through sustainable energy planning at the expense of indigenous resources of the territory.
