Energy policy in Ecuador is driven by its need for energy security as a developing country as well as its conservation efforts. [1] Despite past and ongoing attempts to take charge in energy sustainability (as with the now defunct Yasuni-ITT initiative), oil production and exportation still supports its small $5,853 GDP/capita economy at an average of 549,000 barrels/day in 2016.
