(Energy Analytics Institute, Ian Silverman, 10.Oct.2018) — The dispatch of energy from the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant, located between Napo and Orellana, was carried out Oct. 9 “with restrictions for security reasons.”
As of mid-day Oct. 9, the plant was only operating with five of its eight turbines, reported Ecuador’s daily newspaper El Universo.
Authorities continue to investigate problems at the turbines. It’s unclear when the other turbines will be back online.
