Reduction of Mazar Reservoir is preventive against the arrival of the rainy season, says Deputy Minister of Electricity
The Deputy Minister of Electricity, Javier Medina, emphasized that the reduction of the Mazar Reservoir levels is a preventive measure in preparation for the upcoming rainy season and is not indicative of any electrical system failures.
With current levels of Mazar and Amaluza reservoirs, Paute can generate for 22 consecutive days without a single drop of water entering
Ecuador's Paute hydroelectric complex can sustain power generation for 22 days under current reservoir conditions without new water inflow.
Mazar Reservoir is full and there are still rains expected in March and April, thus reserves are anticipated until September
The Mazar Reservoir in Ecuador is currently over its maximum capacity and likely to maintain high reserves due to expected rainfall in the coming months.
With the current Mazar reservoir level, we can 'calmly' reach April
The Mazar reservoir at the Paute Integral Hydroelectric Complex is near its maximum capacity, ensuring a stable electric power supply for Ecuador until at least April, according to energy analyst Fernando Salinas.
Mazar reaches its maximum level of 2,153 meters
After recent heavy rains, the Mazar reservoir has returned to its maximum level of 2,153 meters above sea level, following a drop of 17 meters since early January.
