Social impact of renewable energy sources in the province of Loja: Ecuador

Abstract:

The accelerated consumption of fossil fuels for the generation of energy will eventually lead to its scarcity. This energetics were formed from solar energy for millions of years and are being consumed at an unsustainable rate. Fortunately, there is a source of energy that is inexhaustible, the sun, the origin of other renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind, bioenergy, hydraulics and solar energy, among others. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). In its study in conjunction with the SENER called REmap2030 1, Mexico has the potential to generate up to 46% of electricity from RES each year, which represents 280 TW-h, 26% of which can be generated through wind and solar photovoltaic energy [1]. The impulse of RES is a strategic axis worldwide that seeks mainly to prevent the eventual depletion of fuels, besides avoiding the toxic effects of the production and use of these. This represents two goals: energy security and environmental sustainability; Likewise, these impact transversally to economic development, social welfare, and globally contribute to sustainable development. In Latin America, its impact has been considerable, since they have put together great powers such as China and the United States and even leading the lists of the countries with the highest renewable energy index, these are Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Brazil among others.
