Ecuador has initiated electricity rationing in its main cities as a result of a drought associated with the El Niño weather pattern. The country heavily relies on hydroelectric plants for about 75% of its power generation, but the drought has led to depleted reservoirs and reduced output.
The Ministry of Energy announced the power cuts, urging citizens to reduce their electricity consumption during this critical period. The government emphasized the importance of conserving energy and water resources to address the current situation.
