09NOV24 "What was sort of to be expected has finally happened: a turbine of the Mazar plant has been damaged by operating it at a too low water level.
From Cuenca Comunica with the attached document translated:
An official document from CENACE’s report has been leaked, stating the following:
"WORKING AT LOW LEVEL DAMAGED A TURBINE IN MAZAR"
CENACE is requesting between 12 and 14 hours of blackouts...
But the serious part is in the last line...
It doesn’t say "to prevent collapse"
But rather "To reduce the risk of collapse."
24-Hour Power Outages Planned by Empresa Eléctrica Quito in Industrial Sectors from November 10 to 14
The Ecuadorian government has announced an increase in power outage hours between November 10 and 14, 2024. This comes amidst a severe energy crisis in the country, driven by factors like lack of investment and low water levels.
“At this moment, we do not have the conditions to maintain just six hours. We need to increase the hours,” announced Energy Minister Inés Manzano in an interview with Ecuavisa on November 8.
The acting Energy Minister, Inés Manzano, stated that the blackouts could last up to eight hours per day.
In certain areas of Quito, however, the power outage will last 24 hours, meaning no electricity for five consecutive days.
Details can be found on page eight of the Empresa Eléctrica Quito schedule, published on its website.
A total of 24-hour outages over five days are planned for three substations that serve industrial areas"

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 ...
