"Thousands of electric generators are piled on Guayaquil docks and in warehouses, many of them unclaimed, according to business organizations. “There could be 20,000 there, some of them already paid for, but no one wants them,” says Fabricio Cornejo, spokesman for the Guayaquil Chamber of Commerce. “There was a rush of orders in late November and early December and then the power blackouts ended.”

Cornejo believes almost a third of the generators have been paid for, fully or in part, but buyers have not made arrangements for delivery. “Even more of a problem, many of the units were delivered from China on spec from distributors who now don’t want to pay for them.” In November the market was overwhelmed by demand for generators but since December 20 demand has collapsed.

According to Cornejo, many of the orders were based on information provided by the national weather service (INAMHI), predicting that drought conditions would continue until March or April. “When Noboa said blackouts would end December 20, we thought he was crazy and believed they would return in late January or February.

Then, of course, the rains came,” he said, adding that generators will not be needed until July or August. “Of course we are personally happy that the situation has improved and the generators are not necessary but the incorrect report we received from INAMHI has cost businesses millions and millions of dollars,” Cornejo said...." -
