Ecuador raises high-voltage electricity tariff to $0.29-0.30/kWh for Q4

Ecuador's electricity regulator Arconel announced a tariff adjustment for high-voltage consumers to $0.29-0.30 per kWh, effective October to December, explicitly sparing the general public. This targeted increase signals cost-pass-through or supply-side pressures in Ecuador's power sector, potentially affecting industrial competitiveness and inflation expectations.
