Ecuador Bisa Energy Storage Project
Jul 4, 2025 · Ecuador is rapidly emerging as a promising market for solar battery storage, driven by growing demand for clean, stable, and off-grid energy solutions.
In 2025, the Government of Ecuador announced plans to build additional hydropower plant capacity in the West where rainfall is plentiful to offset droughts in the East. The 254-MW Toachi Pilaton thermal plant (254 MW) came online in 2025, six years behind schedule.
In 2023, the Energy Ministry released tenders for a 500 MW renewable block (wind, biomass, solar), 400 MW Natural Gas Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCCP), and a Northeast Transmission System to supply the Ecuadorian oil system. From these tenders, only the Villonaco project has started construction as of August 2025.
In May 2025, Ecuador became a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The next step is to enact the legal framework to oversee and regulate nuclear energy. Only after the legal framework is in place could the Energy Ministry issue a public procurement for the first nuclear power plant in Ecuador.
According to Ecuador's Central Bank, power outages caused economic losses of about $2 billion in 2024. In 2024, Ecuador's generation capacity was 9,255 megawatts (MW), of which 5,686 MW (61 percent) was renewable energy sources, and 3,569 MW (39 percent) was non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas).
