The closure of the Strait of #Hormuz is not the only #EnergyCrisis we have seen recently. In the drought-stricken year 2024, #Ecuador 🇪🇨 faced an unprecedented crisis of a different kind.

The country’s #hydropower reservoirs ran almost dry, & Ecuadorians had to endure #grid #blackouts for >12h a day
