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"

To those who choose violence, the law awaits them. To those who act like criminals, they will be treated as criminals.
We continue doing what is our duty: we will be in Pastaza tomorrow, together with those who truly build the country, helping those who need it most to produce more and get ahead." - (1/2)
"While some want to stop Ecuador, we propel it forward.
We will reduce the VAT to 8% during the holidays of October 9, and November 2 and 3, because this country is not going to grind to a halt because of a few who lost the business of smuggling and illegal mining.
To boost the local economy, on November 14 we will pay the thirteenth salary to public employees,
so families will have more money during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. We invite the private sector to join this initiative." - (2/2)
