The purpose of this study is to analyze the losses produced by the energy consumption in lighting auxiliary equipment and the operating time of the public lighting system of Ecuador. It starts with the treatment of information from geo-referenced databases, presented by the electric utility companies to the Electricity Regulation and Control Agency. The information is processed in a specialized software; the luminaires are stratified using the power and type of light source as variables. A second analysis studies the operating time using the time equation. The results of these analyzes serve to calculate the energy and power consumption in the luminaires and their auxiliaries by varying the operating time in each of the electric utility companies according to their geographical position. The results are compared with the provisions of the current Regulation. Finally, a proposal for the consumption of auxiliaries based on international regulations and real data is presented, in addition to a procedure for receiving the information of the public lighting system in order to adjust the values of consumption of the auxiliaries established in the current Regulation (ARCONEL 006/18).
