Kitchens, part of the energy change

Induction stoves run on electricity and heat only the pan 

Cooking Plan Efficient decrease spending to cover the subsidy for liquefied petroleum gas.

One of the ideas that are part of the change in the production matrix was exhibited at the IV Energy Summit is the use of stoves that use only electricity. induction cookers These are electrically operated and heated only the pot, but not the burner. This was explained Fabian Espinoza, representing the Ministry of Electricity, who said the plan called Efficient Cooking aims to reduce spending to cover the subsidy for LPG (liquefied petroleum gas). Last year, the amount allocated to this sector was approximately $ 720 million. Against this background, Espinoza said the change is to translate the use of oil to the hydraulic energy for cooking. According to its forecast for 2017 when in hydropower operation, you can implement the plan. benefit of this project is initially two and a half million families. Among the advantages Espinoza said are would not need to buy gas, in addition to sometimes scarce, does not reach all corners of the country with the agility of electricity, which reaches nearly 4 million households in the country. To do this, the official, also is working to improve the conditions of the country’s electricity grid said. Another benefit is that the manufacture of these will Ecuadorian, which generate employment. currently Indurama is working on the development of these kitchens.Besides strategic import substitution to the case of LPG will be achieved and improve the trade balance because Instead of sending the money to buy LPG abroad may use those funds for domestic investment. According to Espinoza, the use of these stoves also allow a saving not only money costs but time for through induction cooking is faster than gas. At the time the project is in development with the creation of regulations for domestic industry and regulations to meet the needs of users, for example the requirement that kitchens generate high temperatures as there is a tendency to fry food and more heat is needed in the country. It also takes into account that on average three burners are used for cooking. , this invention and others as a hybrid car that uses electric charge, etc. were presented at the Energy Summit, which ended on Saturday. This 10 companies for their work on corporate social responsibility, work in favor of the environment, etc., wind projects, photovoltaic energy, and environmental protection was also recognized. (ABT)
