Ecuador on the verge of electrical rationing, and already with scheduled cuts in three provinces
Santos Alvite explained that for several weeks they have had a deficit in energy generation...
"we are going through the worst drought in the last 50 years," he said, adding that they have tried to make up for the missing energy by repairing the generation park, but He indicated that they have to be sincere with the country:
“The generation is not enough to cover the demand...we see the need to arrange temporary cuts in the supply of electricity in the country,” the minister announced.
The cuts will occur in the period from 07:00 to 18:00 and each electrical or distribution company will make the cuts in the way that causes the least complications for citizens.
The cuts will be temporary until a new generation enters and will be around 4 hours a day in the Sierra and the Eastern region and 3 hours a day on the Coast.
This announcement of the start of power cuts comes after an alleged internal communication from the national electricity operator (Cenace) circulated on social networks last Wednesday requesting authorization from the Ministry of Energy to proceed with rationing.
In the Cenace communication it was indicated that due to the low energy reserves stored in the reservoirs "it is necessary to begin the rationing period in the Ecuadorian electrical system, which if there are no improvements in the water contributions of the main plants, particularly the Mazar-Paute-Sopladora chain, would come into effect as of October 26.
For this, Cenace requires the endorsement of the Ministry of Energy and the application of a contingency plan.
Previously, that same day, there were several scheduled electricity outages in three provinces of the country.
The National Electricity Corporation (CNEL EP) reported on Tuesday that it would carry out maintenance work to strengthen the quality of electrical service in several points of Esmeraldas, Azuay and Santa Elena, however, the authorities assured that these scheduled cuts were not blackouts or rationing. electrical."

For corrupt judges & lawyers- "...So, let's use the same logic with my "buddies." If as a lawyer you are found guilty of having bribed a judge or prosecutor or you are that judge or prosecutor bribed, it is impossible for us to think that it is coherent that we can once again entrust them with their participation in the system of administration of justice.
A corrupt judge, lawyer or prosecutor must be banned for life from practicing the profession. Let them go out to sweep streets or pass cafes, but in this profession they cannot participate again. Because without Justice there is no State and they have made sure that Ecuador is a failed State.
But I am more radical: I propose that the perpetual inability to practice the profession ...
