The energy program carries out projects directed—for the most part—at rural communities, that have low, and in some case nonexistent, levels of electrification, a high degree of unsatisfied basic needs, a marked isolation with respected to population centers and a high geographical dispersion of families. This allows electrification of houses, communal buildings, health care services, schools and tourist cabins for each of the benefiting populations. FEDETA has installed more than 600 solar photovoltaic systems and two pico hydroelectric generators in the provinces of Manabí, Sucumbíos y Esmeraldas, benefiting around 3,200 individuals in eighteen communities in the Amazon region and five in the coastal region. All of them are managed with a unique model of sustainability, through Operative Units for Sustainable Energy Management (UOPGES). The work done by FEDETA over the years has solidified the relationships between the actors involved in the rural electrification of our country. Through an inter-institutional effort shared between FEDETA, CONLEC, Fondo de Solidaridad and the Regional Electric Company of Sucumbíos, the “First Workshop of Technical and Administrative Fortification for Operators of UOPGES” was organized for the purpose improving the technical and administrative management of the UOPGES, to discuss applied mechanisms for serving isolated communities, exchange experiences between actors, and to get to know the current situation of the implemented projects.
