 PRESENTATION |
To preserve the quantity and the quality of the
available water in the Paute river, few programs
have been developed by hidropaute on the capacity
of sustainable conduct of the natural resources,
project of reforest, studies and investigations.
Moreover, Hidropaute participated in the creation
of a basin, in the behalf of the Convention with
the " Convenor of Programs of Emergency works"
in the River Paute basin and its affluent.
Being the pioneer of the companies operating
in the hydroelectric sector in the country, hidropaute
since the first year of activity has conducted
a policy focused on the improvement of its annual
turnover. The results achieved are the synchronized
collaboration between the Paute Electric Central
and the cut in extra costs and extra employees.
In fact hidropaute only employ 28 people the rest
is an outsourcing, employees hired by a third
part. This system introduced by the company called
"Tercerización" started in 1999,
and it is nowadays extended to other activities
such as a dredge service of the national army.
The decision taken by hidropaute to contact outsourcing,
to accomplish with the skilled positions in the
operation and maintenance of the Hidroelectric
Central Paute , has produced more employments
for the national workers decreasing the needs
to contact foreigners' skilled technicians. This
made possible to help in decrease the high unemployment
rate of the region.
| PRODUCTION |
Hidropaute is the generator that more contributed
to the Electric Market with more the 40.13%, followed
by Electroguayas with 12.94% and Hidroagoyan with
10.50% of the energy at the national level. This
shows how hidropaute is today one of the major
electricity producer in the country.
The rough production touched the 4,557.7 GWh
and the deliver at the Electric Market it was
of 4,532.2 GWh, notwithstanding that the hydrology
was presented as dry dilemma in the 2002, with
total incoming of 3,135.61 Hm3. The deposit en
2003 is 799,000 m3 that makes a cumulative total
of 39' 419,000.oo, of which 26'000.000.oo are
in the utility volume and the rest stays at the
original volume.
In the 2002 the production throughout the year
has been of 4.557.7 that correspond to the third
most proficient year as shown on the graph above
where the best year has been in the 2000.
Here in this graphic is represented the Hidropaute
annual production since the 1996. This graph also
shows the stability of the production that has been
steady in seven years, and goes from a minimum of
4.214 GWh in 2001, to a maximum of 4865 GWh in 2000.
Some interesting figures:
Maximum Power (may) 1087 MW
Max monthly energy (July) 548,50 GWh
Max daily energy (23rd August) 21,94 GWh |
Minimum daily energy
(November) 2,36 GWh
Number of fails 4
Maximum synchronized cumulated (U2) 124.454,45
hours
Minimum synchronized cumulated (U10) 57.988,53
hours
A valuable indicator to calculate the productivity
of Hidropaute is given by the relation between the
annual rough productions and the volume of the incoming
water, better shown in the graphic here above. In
2002 it is the highest (1,45) of the analysed period
that started in 1996

INFRASTRUCTURES
A lot importance is done to the machinery and
the infrastructures, as every year hidropaute
continues in investing for the maintenance and
improvement of Paute Electric Central, in order
to maximise its life cycle.
MARKETS AND CUSTOMERS TRENDS
The hidropaute participation in the Electric
Market with its 4,532.2 GWh, continue to be preponderant
and conform as the above graphic is showing.
Hidropaute energetic contributions vary roughly
around 4,500 GWh, but the percentage participation
has the tendency to fall due to the rising of the
demand, in the order of 6.52% on the 2002. One of
the main Hidropaute customers is PPA´s Complementarios,
of which contracts subscribed with some distributing
companies, allowed the flow and liquidity. Another
important segment of a customer that Hidropaute
achieved this year is given by the "Grandes
Consumidores" that began in March with a customer
and successfully ended in September with four customers.
This latter segment is growing and the forecast
foresee an even major growing in the future.
The above graphic shows the different hidropaute
customers and their participation in term of Energy.

STRUCTURE CHART |
In the Mercado Ocasional market segment it is not
present anymore the company EMELEC. The ponderate
prices in the Markets are 3.409 Ë /KWh in the
Mercado Ocasional, 1.788Ë/KWh, in the Market
a term with a total ponderate of 2.356 Ë/ KWh.
The company net income reach almost a total of $138'246,355
of which $ 106'790,113 (77,25%) correspond to the
energy value, and the rest goes to the recognize
the rewardable power and the charges for the frequency
regulator.
HIDROPAUTE WITH THE COMMUNITY
In the vision of the company also corporative values
and social responsibilities are included. As far
as this initiative are concerned Hidropaute has
undertaken many activities, among those the most
relevant have been:
· Credit with preferential rate of interest,
to companies that participate in the same sector,
such as Transelectric, for the project of interconnection
with Colombia, and Hidroagoyan to consolidate
the concession and the also a financial support
for the construction of the Hydroelectric Centre
of San Francisco.
· Donation of any movable pieces of furniture
, for the total value of 153,600,oo$, in favour
of no lucrative entities, that develop the promotion
of social activities.
· Economic donation to those entities that
develop social promotion, and public interest
activities.
Foundation Lluminar (Foundation that has installed,
and developed all the lights system that has given
to the city of Cuenca , a touch of art and beauty),Minibasket
Ecuadorian Association, "San José
La Salle" College, and the Patronage of the
Provincial Convexo of the Azulay, all those entities
have been helped and sustained by Hidropaute to
