Sumario:It is important that Ecuador carries out a diagnosis of its renewable energy potential; therefore, the following study was executed with data obtained from meteorological stations and with the help of software developed by the National Laboratory for Renewable Energy, Model System Advisor (SAM ), where high enthalpy systems with parabolic collectors were designed in various areas of the upper basin of the Pastaza River, based on its solar energy potential and available area, to ge- nerate electrical energy and to predict possible locations for solar thermal power plants that do not cause a negative impact on the environment. Selected places are close to main roads, water sources, the national interconnected  electric network and there is no human intervention, these favorable conditions are found in Tunshi, Escuela Superior Politecnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), Chinga- zo, South of Chimborazo and North of Chimborazo areas. Areas with the highest energy produc- tion on average, were South of Chimborazo and North of Chimborazo and finally the financial analysis show a 20-year investment recovery with the current electric energy price established by Ecuador, at which the investment debt would be paid, therefore the project is feasible and will ge- nerate a positive impact in the country
