impact. The introduction of LNG into the national energy mix will diversify fuel sources, enhance system flexibility, and improve energy security. At the same time, it is expected to lower electricity generation costs and substantially reduce emissions compared with traditional liquid fuels, supporting a cleaner and more sustainable energy future for the country.
“ The main driver behind the project was the historical shortage of electricity supply and the ever-growing energy demand of a country that is constantly developing,” Martín shares.“ The country currently faces a structural power deficit of approximately 300 MW, driven by sustained growth in electricity demand. This shortfall is expected to persist over the long term and, despite the implementation of rationing measures, has resulted in an increasing frequency of power outages. The significant social and political consequences of unmet energy demand have created a strong alignment between the government, ENEE( Honduras’ National Electric Energy Company), and private sector participants in pursuing a reliable and sustainable solution to the country’ s energy needs.
