El Niño rains halt Ecuador sugarcane harvest, forcing sugar imports
ExpresoLO·EC·2 days ago
Heavy rain has forced the San Carlos mill to suspend its 2026 harvest, removing 40 MW of daily generation from the National Interconnected System. The mill will import sugar to meet customer supply. This is a weather-driven disruption to both energy supply and sugar production, with implications for grid stability and local market supply.
