IDB CLIMA: Resilient Investments in Electric Power Transmission and Distribution in Ecuador

The main objective is to improve the reliability and resilience of the electricity sector to ensure a stable, secure, and efficient supply of electricity. Also, to strengthen the institutional capacities to access green debt markets, contributing to the country's economic growth. The specific objectives are: (i) to increase the reliability, operational availability, and resilience of hydroelectric generation; ii) to optimize the efficiency of specific transmission lines to reduce economic losses due to failures or operational restrictions, including the impacts of climate change (CC); and iii) to strengthen the public sector's capacities to mainstream resilience into its project portfolios and report on the impacts of CC on the sector.
