Honduras has 936 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 55 tracked facilities, ranking #64 of 222 countries in this atlas.
Solar dominates: 75% of the operating capacity (701 MW) comes from solar parks, against 235 MW of wind.
The pipeline is substantial: 0 MW under construction and 465 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 50% of today’s operating fleet.
About 86 MW (9%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2015, with 514 MW commissioned.
The largest concentrations are in Choluteca (417 MW), Valle (250 MW), Francisco Morazán (132 MW).
