Renewables Readiness Assessment: Honduras

Honduras'' geographical location provides an ideal setting for producing electricity through renewable energy sources, such as hydro, solar, wind, biomass and geothermal. Total installed capacity in Honduras is approximately 3159 MW, distributed over 107 power plants.

Renewable energy in Honduras

Honduras has a large potential for solar photovoltaic generation. In fact, it is a practical solution for servicing energy-isolated rural communities. In 2007, there were about 5,000 individual Solar Home Systems, with an average size between 30 Wp and 50 Wp, which makes up for a total capacity of approximately 15 to 25 kW of power. [1]

ENERGY PROFILE Honduras

emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate the same amount of power and using the same mix of fossil fuels. In countries and

Renewables Readiness Assessment: Honduras

In its Energy Roadmap 2050 and National Plan 2010-2022, Honduras has set a target to achieve an 80% share of renewable energy in the country''s total electricity generation by 2038, up from the current 60%. However, national renewable energy and sustainable development ambitions in Honduras face important infrastructure constraints.

OverviewEnergy sourcesLegal and policy frameworkSee alsoSources

In 2021, Honduras'' energy mix was led by oil, constituting 52.3% of the total energy supply, followed by biofuels and waste at 33.7%. Modern renewables, which exclude traditional biomass practices like burning wood or agricultural residues, accounted for 13.7%, while coal made up just 0.3%. Currently, 33 percent (502 MW) of the installed capacity of the national interc
