Abstract
Ecuador presents a singular pattern of energy consumption, based, mainly, on fossil fuels. Such a situation is, from both environmental and economic points of view, neither desirable nor strategic for the country, a signatory to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). However, the current transition that the energy sector in Ecuador is undergoing may enable solutions based on demand-side management (DSM). The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of DSM measures that may lead to reduction in fossil fuel demand and thus mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in Ecuador. Technical and economic assessments are carried out through construction of scenarios with the Long-Range Energy Alternatives Planning System (LEAP) model. Results show attractiveness of measures based both on substitution of energy sources and on energy efficiency.
