Honduras at Risk of Nightly Blackouts as Demand Outpaces Supply

Published on Honduras Daily · Sep 12, 2026 · Originally reported September 10, 2026 by Radio Cadena Voces (RCV)

Honduras's grid faces a 40-megawatt shortfall between 6 and 10 p.m., when peak demand reaches 2,130 MW against a maximum supply of 2,050 MW, a gap worsened by solar shutdowns at dusk and canceled regional imports.
