Honduras faces significant challenges in providing reliable and affordable power to its population. The nation’s electrical infrastructure struggles with a combination of factors resulting in frequent outages, high costs, and limited access, particularly in rural areas.
A lack of investment in modernization and expansion of the grid is a primary contributor. Coupled with this is significant electricity theft (“non-technical losses”) which further strains resources and increases costs for paying consumers. Furthermore, dependence on imported fossil fuels for power generation makes the country vulnerable to price fluctuations and limits energy independence.
