Continuous power at your plant, without depending on the grid.
Electricity and steam under one contract, designed to cost 25% to 50% less than generating with your own thermal equipment and, under the model we offer, with no upfront investment on your side.
On-site energy for industry in Latin America
Ecuador, today's case
- US$ 1,916 million is what the 2024 blackouts cost Ecuador.
- 3 days a week of disconnection for high-voltage industry since 12 October 2026.
- US$ 0.30 per kWh average tariff announced for AV1 from October to December 2026, against about US$ 0.12 before.
What power cuts cost you, and whether a plant on your site pays off.
Adjust your plant's values. We tell you if it pays, and also if it does not.
For each day of cuts
of profit you lose. With BEP your plant keeps producing that day.
Per year

than generating with your own thermal equipment, under the model we offer
With BEP, your net result:
Indicative estimate, per year, with your margin, a 0.12 grid tariff on normal days, a plant running 24/7 and steam that replaces boiler diesel. Your sector's sales per kWh: estimated average from public data.
Real example: in the 43 days of cuts in 2024, a coastal tuna processor with a demand of about 1 MW did not bill about US$ 4.3 million. Generating on its own site all year would have cost it between US$ 0.6 and 1.6 million more than the grid on normal days, and would have saved about US$ 0.8 million of boiler diesel if it uses all the engine's steam.
How it is calculated
Profit you lose per day = MW x 1,000 x hours of cut x your sector's sales per kWh x your margin. Per year = that value x days with cuts. Net result with BEP = steam saving + profit you do not lose in the cuts minus what on-site energy costs more or less than a 0.12 tariff on normal days; we show it as a wide range because it depends on the gas price; for prudence it is wider than our assumption at both ends, mostly on the expensive side. Days from which it pays = that extra cost divided by what you recover on each day of cuts. With the 0.30 crisis tariff, announced for October to December 2026, the result improves.

A natural-gas power plant on your site.
Four steps, from assessment to operation.
Assessment
We review your electricity, heat and cooling use.
Design and proposal
We size the plant and present a proposal.
Construction
We build it on site with specialist partners.
Operation
Operation, maintenance and gas for the whole contract.
You get electricity, steam or hot water and cooling; gas arrives by truck, everything sits under one contract and there is no upfront investment from you.
Gas arrives as LNG by truck from suppliers in Ecuador and the region, and is stored in tanks inside your plant: several days of autonomy without depending on each delivery.
Who it is for
- Tuna and seafood
- Shrimp feed
- Shrimp packing
- Dairy and beverages
- Paper
- Cold storage
- Ports
- Other continuous plants
Who we are
Baseload Energy Partners was formed by a team with broad experience in energy across the Americas and Europe: project development, asset operations, investment analysis and financing. The firm's leadership and advisers include backgrounds in:
- Project development and execution at one of the world's largest power companies.
- Oil and gas operations at one of the world's largest independent oil companies.
- Asset valuation and project finance transactions at one of the leading global energy consultancies.
- Founding an international energy intelligence firm that works with companies, banks and governments.
- Economic and fiscal models for investors and lenders in energy projects.
What a finance director usually asks.
Where does the gas come from?
We work with liquefied natural gas (LNG) suppliers in Ecuador and the region. At your plant we install storage and regasification, sized for several days of operation without a new delivery. Ecuador is also expanding its natural gas supply, with an LNG import process launched in 2026.
Why would I sign for 15 years against a three-month crisis tariff?
Because the contract is not justified by the crisis tariff: it is sized so that at your normal tariff, the steam you save and the cuts you avoid give a positive result, and if with your numbers it does not, we tell you in the assessment.
I already have generators.
Then you already pay about 0.38 to 0.44 per kWh when they run and still lose output (a tuna processor with generators at 85% produced a quarter less in 2024); our case for you is the steam and that output, not the equipment.
Who carries the gas price risk?
The price formula, with its gas-cost adjustment and its caps, is written in the proposal before signing, and the calculator already shows the result as a range for that reason.
How long until the plant is ready?
Months: it has to be designed, built and commissioned. That is why the time to start the analysis is now.
