In recent years, Ecuador has reformed its renewable energy policy. New legal framings and policies have gradually been incorporated since 2015 legislative reforms to the Ley Orgánica del Servicio
Energy policy of Ecuador
Energy policy in Ecuador is driven by its need for energy security as a developing country as well as its conservation efforts. [1] Despite past and ongoing attempts to take charge in energy sustainability (as with the now defunct Yasuni-ITT initiative), oil production and exportation still supports its small $5,853 GDP/capita economy at an average of 549,000 barrels/day in 2016.
