Induction stoves program in rural areas of Ecuador - Paperback

by Jean Pierre Rivero Zambrano (Author)

In Ecuador, 37% of the inhabitants belong to the rural area, which is established as a part of the marginal population, because it maintains the lack of access to the stable electrical network due to the late action of the state. Their main source of income is agriculture. The program of induction stoves in Ecuador was determined as a pioneer in the region, since the government in full investment process, carried out the infrastructure to obtain surplus electricity that would comply with supplying the national territory. The induction stoves program had a great merit in being promoted, but expectations were decreasing due to the risk of increasing the cost to the rural population, however, some did, even though they had less access to the stable electrical network. Induction stoves are a precedent that remains in oblivion for lack of resources to promote it so that it becomes attractive to all Ecuadorians. In economic terms for the population, the subsidy has not been equitable to the one currently maintained for liquefied gas.
