Power plant profile: Negratin Honduras Solar PV Park, Honduras

Negratin Honduras Solar PV Park is a ground-mounted solar project. The electricitiy generated from the plant has offsetted 10,000t of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) a year. The project consists of 32,160 modules. Contractors involved Negratin was selected to render engineering procurement construction services for the solar PV power project.

(Español) Energía Solar Honduras

It is from August 1st, 2015 when renewable sources exceed the fossils, with the implementation of 12 photovoltaic solar plants (388 MW) in the departments of Choluteca and Valle. Solar-based generation systems, located in 5 of the country''s 18 departments, represent 24% of country''s installed capacity.

Solar PV Analysis of Florencia, Honduras

Honduras ranks 47th in the world for cumulative solar PV capacity, with 514 total MW''s of solar PV installed.

6 FAQs about [Honduras pv in solar]

Does Honduras have solar power?

What type of energy is used in Honduras?

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.

Can Honduras generate electricity from biomass?

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.

How many hydro power plants are there in Honduras?

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.

Can Honduras generate electricity 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.

How many geothermal projects are there in Honduras?

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.
