Power Sector

President Asfura announced plans to bid out approximately 600 megawatts of new electric-generation capacity to reduce reliance on costlier spot-market power and lower electricity costs, while reporting his administration has halved the overdue payments owed to power generators.

The electricity regulator said it will evaluate the Liberal Party's counterproposal for power-sector reforms, insisting any changes must balance lower tariffs, fair competition, and fiscal impact while rejecting open-ended incentives.

The head of Honduras's electricity regulator says delays in the Liberal Party's response to proposed power-sector reforms risk prolonging electricity supply problems and preventing competitive bidding processes needed to lower rates.
