to-the-point: Renewables surpass thermal power sources in Honduras

The production of renewable power in Honduras has surpassed that from thermal souces, the National Company for Electrical Energy (ENEE) announced recently.

The country's energy mix includes 60% renewables and 40% fossil fuel power. This is due to the impulse given to the generation of clean energy in recent years, ENEE’s energy generation manager, Leonardo Deras, said.

Currently, ENEE's installed capacity represents approximately 21% of the national generation. According to Deras, this number should increase to 25% once the 102-MW Patuca III hydropower project comes into operation.
