Ecuador is experiencing an unprecedented energy crisis resulting in a reduction in electricity generation. Therefore the Government of Ecuador is mandating daily rolling electrical blackouts in excess of 10 hours, on different schedules, that is impacting the entire country. It is expected that these power outages will continue for months and even up to two years due to a failing grid, deteriorating hydroelectric dams and a severe drought. USDH residences are not equipped to manage these outages, making it very difficult on officers and family members to endure this crisis.
