Ecuador's Mazar reservoir recovers 64 cm but remains near minimum; Paute Integral at 7% of hydro output

Ecuador's Mazar reservoir gained 64 cm over 22 hours after a period without generation, but remains close to its minimum safe level. Paute Integral now contributes only 7% of national hydroelectric generation, indicating a severe drought impact on hydropower capacity. This underscores Ecuador's energy vulnerability and potential for power rationing.
