Abstract

The Ecuadorian Government has allocated significant amounts of the State general budget to cover the tariff deficit of the electric subsidy, generated by the regulation economic on the prices for this service. These regulated tariffs generate inefficiencies, on the one hand encouraging consumers to misuse this resource and putting at risk the future sustainability of this sector and the energy grant which has failed to have a good focus. As a result of that inefficiency, this work analyzes the Ecuadorian Electric Sector and proposes alternatives the tariff deficit. This document is divided into 3 sections, section 1 refers to the electric energy sector in general, history, sources of generation, electrical interconnections, users and electricity tariff, losses of energy among other important aspects. Section 2 deals with the tariff deficit and the quantification of this grant (residential sector) for the period 2008 – 2012. And finally in Section 3 we propose alternatives of energy efficiency and economic thetariff deficit.
