SANCHEZ-GAMBOA, Franklin Israel. Efficient cooking program in times of COVID-19 in the province of Cotopaxi: energy demand. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.216, pp.103-108.  Epub 24-Mayo-2021. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v88n216.90169.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the monthly energy consumption by the users of the PEC program (Energy Efficiency Program for induction cooking and electric water heating) of ELEPCO SA (Empresa Eléctrica Provincial Cotopaxi Sociedad Anónima) before and after the curfew measures dictated by the national “COE” (Emergency Operations Center) in response to the global pandemic caused by COVID-19 disease. Carried out by taking into account four strata distributed according the energy consumption levels, its variance in relation to the year 2019 and applying the linear regression method to estimate the average monthly demand in relation to the curfew time, resulting in that the rate The increase in the period April-May 2019 versus April-May 2020 is 5.17% and analyzing only stratum B in the period March-July 2019 in relation to March-July 2020 is 8.02%, estimating that for the month of August 2020 the will have an average monthly consumption of 215,441 KWh in stratum A
