Honduras's MIPYMES federation president José Castañeda endorsed the government's plan to reduce operating expenses while redirecting resources to productive infrastructure, citing poor road conditions and a growing public-sector labor liability that drains budgets with each administration.

Honduras's electric-sector overhaul, which restructures ENEE and addresses transmission infrastructure and technical losses, will take at least two years to meaningfully reduce blackouts while the government executes infrastructure investments and tackles the utility's 120-billion-lempira debt.

Cohep president Anabel Gallardo called on Congress to pass the long-delayed energy law reform, warning that continued inaction weakens ENEE's governance and could deter investment.

ASJ, a civil-society organization, urges Congress to focus energy-sector reform solely on overhauling the state power utility ENEE to improve efficiency, reduce blackouts, and lower costs for poor households.
