Manabí is a province with great potential, either in the agri-food sector or in the renewable generation of energy. However, the limitations inherited from traditional development models prevent achieving the sustainable development of this territory. This paper proposes a development model at the local level, aimed at achieving equity and, through the use of renewable energy sources and other potentials present in specific territories, to improve the quality of life and reduce the risks of societies present there. Through geographic information systems, it was possible to generate and display on maps information related to the energy demand at the provincial and cantonal levels, as well as the province's energy behavior considering the population density.
The work presents an analysis linked to one of the sustainable energy alternatives that are currently being adopted with success worldwide. Putting the field research method into practice, the results of a study related to an application of technological innovation are shown to reduce the amount of the electricity bill at the JENMER CIA LTDA Service Station, through the introduction of photovoltaic technology connected to the low voltage network of the institution. The results of the study of load and hourly energy consumption of said entity are shown and its methodology is deployed for the technological design of a photovoltaic plant connected to the grid, which can avoid the energy consumption of the conventional grid, reducing the amount of the electricity bill of the institution, at the same time that it is possible to reduce losses, improve the quality of electricity service and reduce COemissions2 into the atmosphere. The energy, economic, environmental, and social impacts associated with the penetration of photovoltaic technology are exposed.
The province of Manabí is subject to different risks, one of them is seismic. When this phenomenon occurs, they endanger all elements of society; but not only that, because the consequences of these reach further and can compromise the environmental situation of a locality when they are able to produce changes in the orography of the land modifying the landscape. Many buildings collapse and others are affected, transforming the environment in an important way. The research aims to show some environmental risks that occurred when this type of natural phenomenon occurs, for which a bibliographic review was used as a methodology, appealing to the experiences derived from the effects of the earthquake in the city of Portoviejo on April 16 of 2016, where it was possible to see abandoned areas that previously had a high functional and social value, soils have acquired other types of values; but also where different environmental impacts and changes of landscape affected by natural phenomenon are observed.
