From the present investigation it was concluded that the consumption of electric energy does not positively affect GDP, therefore, a control variable (Economically Active Population) was added to improve the econometric model, resulting in a positive impact that goes from the EAP to the consumption of electric power and the GDP, that is to say, to greater economic growth and energy consumption, greater Economically Active Population. An economic alterative for our country is to improve the economic structure by focusing on other production alternatives other than hydrocarbons, it is one of the necessary alternatives to be taken by Ecuador in order to reduce the heavy depend
