Documentary abstract — original language

Los conflictos socioambientales son parte de la realidad nacional, uno de ellos es la soberanía en los recursos naturales en contraste con los derechos de la naturaleza. Por ende, es importante entender a la soberanía energética desde el rol de los gobiernos de turno, que aprovecharon la geografía nacional para la generación de energías renovables y su desarrollo. No obstante, los intereses político-clientelares, así como los cambios normativos, dificultaron durante mucho tiempo su consecución. Este trabajo estudia el régimen jurídico de la energía eléctrica, a partir de su evolución histórica, en diferentes modelos de gestión pública y privada. La metodología empleada permitió realizar un recorrido histórico jurídico, que identificó las diferentes normativas y la actuación que ha tenido el Estado a la hora de administrar, gestionar y controlar el sector eléctrico en Ecuador. Se constató que el relator especial del derecho humano al agua y saneamiento recomienda que para el desarrollo de grandes infraestructuras, los recursos naturales deben ser gobernados de manera eficiente a través del trinomio agua, energía y alimentos, estrategia que permite reducir los conflictos socioambientales. Para lo cual se consideraron los casos de estudio del río Dulcepamba, así como el de la cuenca del río Machángara, con el propósito de mostrar experiencias negativas y positivas en materia de gobernanza. Socio-environmental conflicts are part of the national reality, one of them is the sovereignty of the natural resources in contrast with the Nature rights. Therefore, it’s important to understand energy sovereignty from the role of the governments in power, which took advantage of the national geography for the development and generation of renewable energies. However, political-clientelated interest, as well as regulatory modifications, hindered its achievement for a long time. This paper studies the legal regime of the electric energy, starting from its historical evolution, in the different models of public and private management. The methodology used is an historical legal review, which identified the different regulations and actions of the State in the administration, management, and control of the electricity sector. It was noted that, the Special Rapporteur on the human right to water and sanitation recommends that, for the development of large infrastructures, natural resources should be governed efficiently through the trinomial, water, energy, and food, strategy which allows fewer conflicts. For this reason, the cases of study were considered are the Dulcepamba River and the Machángara River basin, with the purpose of showing the negative and positive experiences in terms of governance.socio-environmental
