Power Plants in Honduras

Honduras has 15 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 108th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 9 operating and 6 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 1.6 GW across 9 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Choloma (DanaSun Energy) solar farm (300 MW).

The largest owner-operators are Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (6), Bijao Electric Company SA de CV (1) and Comercializadora de Electricidad Centroamericana de Honduras SA de CV (1) — Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica alone is named on 40% of them. Half of Honduras's power plants in service predate 2011 (median commissioning year of the 9 with a known date), 3 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Río Lindo hydroelectric plant, dating from 1971. 6 are in the pipeline, led by Choloma (DanaSun Energy) solar farm (300 MW), proposed. They account for 65% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Honduras.
