21-WWS-Honduras
This infographic summarizes results from simulations that demonstrate the ability of Honduras to match all-purpose energy demand with wind-water-solar (WWS) electricity and heat supply,
The national electricity system is concentrated in the western part of Honduras. In absolute terms, it is estimated that more than 386,000 households or more than 1.93 Million people in rural areas remain without access to electricity, with the sparsely populated eastern part remaining mainly beyond economic line-extension distances.
Consequently, 22.5% of the gross electricity production is lost in Honduras. The losses are the highest in Central America after Nicaragua and 60% are classified as non-technical.
The total primary energy consumption in Honduras is around 4.62 Mtoe or 53,730.6 GWh.
More than 1.93 Million people in rural areas remain without access to electricity. Honduras has one of the lowest rural electrification rates in Latin America after Nicaragua, with about 54 percent of the rural population still lacking access to electricity.
