Ecuador''s National Assembly has unanimously approved a new law to boost private energy generation amid an ongoing energy crisis marked by mandated night blackouts.
In Ecuador, prices for gasoline, diesel, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), and electricity have been subsidized since the 1970s by up to 85% ( BCE, 2019 ). In 2012, the country ranked fifth globally in energy subsidies when expressed as percentage share of GDP, only surpassed by Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Venezuela, and Algeria ( Di Bella et al., 2015 ).
The diesel subsidy results in highest additional expenditures for Ecuadorian households, totaling about US$ 53 million per month. Almost 95% of these additional expenditures stem from indirect effects, primarily due to additional electricity, food, and transportation costs.
In 2022, Ecuador’s generation capacity was 8,864 MW, of which 5,425 MW (61 percent) corresponded to renewable energy and 3,438 MW (39 percent) to non-renewable energy sources (fossil fuels derived from oil and natural gas).
In the case of the Republic of Moldova, the study by OECD (2018) shows that a voucher system to compensate for the impact of energy subsidy removal is favorable over other cash transfer schemes.
Direct and indirect distributional impacts of energy subsidy removal We estimate that removing all energy subsidies would, in the medium price increase scenario, amount to additional monthly private expenditures of nearly US$ 190 million, i.e. almost US$ 50 per household ( Table 1 ).
