Latin America. Ecuador and Mexico signed an energy efficiency and renewable energy agreement called the Cooperation Framework Agreement that seeks to elevate the development and scientific research, technology transfer and development of both institutions.
The agreement was made directly by the Institute of Electrical Research (IEE), of Mexico, and the National Institute of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies (INER), of Ecuador.
"The signing of this agreement is another chapter of the successful relationship between Ecuador and Mexico in energy matters, where there is a close relationship of cooperation in engineering, consulting and control services between the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE) and the public companies of Ecuador, a country where CFE collaborates in the most emblematic and important infrastructure project that is currently being developed, which is the Coca Codo Sinclair hydroelectric plant, which will have a generation capacity of 1,500 megawatts (MW), in which CFE supervises both the construction and the designs," the CFE statement said.
The agreement contemplates the development of joint research projects of technical and scientific interest and the establishment of mechanisms and instruments for the exchange of experiences and automated, technical, scientific and methodological information.
