Gamesa Electric: Illuminating Honduras with Sustainable Solar

Gamesa Electric, a leading global provider of solar photovoltaic (PV) solutions, has secured the largest solar PV project in Honduras, a testament to its unwavering commitment to sustainable energy. This monumental project involves the supply of solar power stations and control systems for a 53.31 megawatt-peak (MWp) project, poised to

Los Prados solar PV plant

The plant has installed Gamesa Electric Photovoltaic Solar Stations. The project is part of an energy sale agreement (PPA) with the National Electric Energy Company (ENEE) of Honduras for 20 years and which is expected to provide 73,000 MWh of electricity per year and to reduce carbon emissions by nearly 40,000t per annum.

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

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

Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).
