President Daniel Noboa called for the resignation of the Energy Minister and an investigation for sabotage.

The Government of Ecuador declared an electrical emergency to deal with the power outages that returned to the country.

After several days of unforeseen cuts and Colombia's announcement that it no longer exports electricity to Ecuador, the Ministry of Energy made rationing of up to six hours official at least for this Tuesday and Wednesday.

Another of the measures taken by Daniel Noboa's regime was to request the resignation of the Minister of Energy, Andrea Arrobo.

The official said last week that on April 11 “we imported 2.17 GW, more than 2% of the demand, there are days when we have imported 1%, at this moment every megawatt that we can take advantage of counts and every megawatt That we can import also counts.” Officially it was known that at least until that day Ecuador imported energy from Colombia.

Meanwhile, on the afternoon of April 15, the Minister of Mines and Energy of Colombia, Andrés Camacho, confirmed that "since Easter (end of March) we have limited the export of energy to Ecuador..., we have all the thermal power at its maximum potential. generation, so all the measures have been adopted, both renewable thermal and the generation potential with hydraulic plants is also available these days.”
