That is how Mazar and Paute are, after 18 days with out energy cuts – 2024-05-25 02:29:05

The rains in Azuay improved the extent of the reservoirs of each crops, which elevated their technology in Could 2024.

Hydroelectric energy plant reservoirs Guideline y Mazar They border between 1,985 and a couple of,128 meters above sea degree.

The reservoir of Amazula from Hydroelectric Paute It’s six meters from the utmost, whereas Mazar must rise 25 meters to be utterly stuffed.

The evolution of the reservoir

He Minister of Vitality, Roberto Luquesuspended the facility cuts since final Could 1, 2024. This choice will stay in place till subsequent Sunday, Could 26.

The choice was primarily based on two fundamental variables. The supply of power by Colombia and the rains recorded in Azuaywhich contributed to the reservoirs of Mazar and Paute.

On Could 1, 2024, the extent of the Central Pautewhich is the second largest of Ecuador, was at 1,983 meters above sea degree. Since then it has risen one meter, although electrical energy technology elevated. That’s, the reservoir has not misplaced its reserves.

Within the case of Mazar The expansion has been 9 meters in these 18 days. On this case, its fundamental perform is to build up water for hydroelectric technology and regulate the reservoir of Guidelinewhich is downstream.

The latter has 10 generators and better manufacturing capability than Mazarwhich solely has two machines.

Hydroelectric technology

Since final Could 1, 2024, the Paute Hydroelectric Plant generates day-after-day. Its every day contribution ranges from 5,136 to 14,492 megawatts/hour. There are hours during which the Nationwide Electrical energy Operator (Pricing) has ordered it to function with its 10 generators. Mazar solely stopped working on Could 7 and 9, 2024.

The remainder of the times its manufacturing ranged between 370 and 1,857.92 megawatts/hour. Each crops, positioned on the bounds of Azuay and Cañar, contributed this Friday, Could 17, 2024, with 17% of the hydroelectric technology programmed by Cenace.

The flows of the rivers of Cuenca

The flows of the Tomebamba, Tarqui, Yanuncay and Machángara rivers are at regular ranges, based on info from the Cuenca Hydrometeoreological Community.

At 08:00 this Friday, Could 17, the Tomebamba had the very best movement with 5.24 cubic meters per second. Machángara adopted with 4.73.

These tributaries together with the Santa Bárbara, San Francisco and Burgay feed the Paute River basin, which feed the Mazar and Paute reservoirs.
