Honduras — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 23 energy assets in Honduras across 4 layers — the 125th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 15 power plants, 4 interconnectors and 3 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 1.6 GW, led by oil at 39%.

The companies named on the most assets are Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (6), Argos Guyane SAS (2) and Cementos Argos SA (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Honduras's mapped assets in service predate 2011 (median commissioning year of the 12 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Bijao Cement Plant, dating from 1958. 9 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Honduras – Nicaragua interconnection (planned) (300 MW).
