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.

The solar networks, each with a generating capacity of up to 25.6 MWp (Megawatt peak), were built in the south of the country. This will, in turn, assist Honduras in its efforts to diversify its energy mix and and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Honduras'' installed solar power generation capacity would jump 56% to 835MW with the project. At end-June, the country''s installed capacity totaled 3,209MW, led by thermal (1,329MW), and the balance hydro (850MW), solar (536MW), wind (235MW), biomass (221MW) and geothermal (39MW), information from the national dispatch center (CND) shows.
Honduras is emerging as Central America''s solar success story, thanks to an ahead-of-the-curve incentive plan that has brought foreign investment to the sector, anchored by guaranteed 20-year

Despite challenges, Honduras boasts significant potential for renewable energy development, including abundant solar resources and untapped biomass reserves. By leveraging these resources and implementing targeted regulations to attract investments, Honduras can enhance energy access, drive economic growth, and promote sustainable development.
Honduras has the highest installed photovoltaic capacity in Central America, and the second highest in Latin America behind Chile. With 660 MW of installed capacity, solar represents 27% of renewable capacity on Honduras, generating just over 1 TWh in 2021.

Since that time, Honduras has become the site of our first Solar Direct project, in which Solar Under the Sun coordinates service trips. As of summer 2023, SUS has installed systems in 66 homes in El Horno, Honduras. Including 10 systems installed by local people trained by SUS teams with equipment left in Honduras for planned projects in 2020.

Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy followed at 18.9%, with wind power at 12.9%, and geothermal energy at 5.8%. Due to the diversity of the Honduran landscape, the potential for wind development varies considerably. A 100 MW wind project was built in 2012.
Honduras has a large potential for electricity generation from biomass, mainly from the sugar industry. Currently, there are nine biomass projects in operation, with a total of 81.75 MW installed capacity. These plants are estimated to supply 2.3 percent of the total demand of energy in Honduras for 2007.
The three planned geothermal projects in Honduras add up to 85.5 MW of installed capacity. The largest of them is called Platanares, in the Department of Copan, which began operations in 2011 with an installed capacity of 40.5 MW and a generation of 354.8 GWh per year.
There has been an intensive use of small- and medium-scale hydro energy, with 14 out of 16 existing hydro plants with capacity below 30 MW. Two large plants ( El Cajón Dam (Honduras) and Rio Lindo) account, however, for more than 70% of the total capacity. In Honduras, there is a large potential for electricity generation based on hydropower.
In Honduras, there is a large potential for electricity generation based on hydropower. In 2003 then President Ricardo Maduro put in place a Special Commission for the Development of Hydroelectric Projects. There are 16 new hydro projects that are expected to be commissioned before 2011, with an overall capacity of 206.5 MW.
