Reservoirs

The three reservoirs of southern Ecuador drawn at their level, the thermal generation that covers what the water does not give, and the Colombia link. The figures are read from the public data services of CELEC Sur, CENACE and XM, and each carries the date it describes.

Thermal generation

What the thermal plants contribute to CENACE’s daily balance. CENACE keeps no history on its page: the tracker keeps a day only if it ran while that day was on the daily tab, which is why days are missing.

CENACE daily balance, Nov 5, 2026
  • Thermal, daily average: 1,066.9 MW (MWh ÷ 24 h).
  • Highest half-hour sample: 1,197.89 MW.
  • Real thermal capacity: about 1,300 MW, per CELEC as quoted by La República on October 18, 2026 (2,386 MW on paper).

The Colombia link

Imports from Colombia as settled by XM, and the rule that governs them: under CREG Resolution 101 127 of 2026, Colombia exports routinely only while its partial reservoir is above the ISO-GT 85 threshold.

Imports from Colombia, as settled by XMMWh per day, all links, the last 100 days on file. Days below 100 MWh read as trace flow, not trade.
20.29 MWhLatest XM day: 20.29 MWh on Nov 5, 2026.
Last commercial day (100 MWh or more): 207.78 MWh on Nov 4, 2026.1 days later, at the latest XM day.

The CREG gateColombia’s partial reservoir (NE parcial: useful reservoir without the Bogotá chain) against the ISO-GT 85 threshold of CREG Resolution 101 127. While the reservoir is below the threshold, Colombia does not export routinely. The future threshold is the schedule XM published, not a forecast.
Partial reservoir82.79 %
ISO-GT 85 threshold89.14 %
Gap on Nov 7, 2026: -6.35 pp.10-day trend: +0.24 pp per day.

Colombia’s aggregate reservoir (XM, without CREG’s cut): 78.70 % on Nov 7, 2026.

Sources: XM (useful volume and capacity by reservoir; the ISO-GT curves of CREG 101 127), as reconstructed by the tracker; CREG publishes its own figure only in circulars.
