The Electricity Law of 1994 assigns the policymaking function to an Energy Cabinet chaired by the President of the Republic with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (Secretaria de Recursos Naturales y Ambiente, SERNA) as its secretary and coordinator. A regulatory agency, the Comisión Nacional de Energía (CNE), was created to take charge of, among other functions: • Supervise power sales agreements to be signed by distribution companies; [pdf]
With an installed generation capacity of 1,568 MW (2007), Honduras relies on a thermal-based power system (accounting for nearly two-thirds of its total installed capacity), which is very vulnerable to high and volatile international oil prices. [full citation needed] The generation mix is as follows:
In Honduras the residential power plugs and sockets are of type A and B. The standard voltage is 120 V and the standard frequency is 60 Hz. In Honduras, there is great potential in untapped indigenous renewable energy resources. Due to the likely long-term trend of high oil prices, such resources could be developed at competitive prices.
According to its promoter, Finnder, the small hydropower project Rio Blanco (50 MW) was the first small Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) registered in the World, with the first Certified Emission Reductions awarded in October 2005. Currently, there are eleven CDM-registered projects related to electricity generation in Honduras.
Currently, the Inter-American Development Bank is contributing funds and assistance to the following projects in the energy sector in Honduras: An Energy Sector Support Loan supported through a US$29 million credit approved in September 2008. This project will finance priority investments in transmission and support a program for reducing losses.

The 2023-2024 Ecuador electricity crisis was caused by a severe that depleted water levels at plants and a lack of capacity buildup. experienced for up to 14 hours per day in the fall crisis (started on 23 September 2024 ) of 2024. Researches describe fall 2023 (27 October–18 December 2023) and spring 2024 (16–30 April 2024) crises as separate events. The had announced on 10 December, 202. [pdf]

Formal electricity services are solely provided by the state-owned Liberia Electricity Corporation, which operates a small grid almost exclusively in the . The vast majority of electric energy services is provided by small privately owned . At $0.54 per kWh, the in Liberia is among the highest in the world. Total installed capacity in 2013 was 20 MW, a sharp decline from a peak of 191 MW in 1989. [pdf]
As exemplified by Liberia's import initiatives, regional energy cooperation should be considered to bolster energy reliability. Engineers are advised to optimize energy mixes, incorporating wind, biomass, and solar energy into existing grids, and developing mini-grid initiatives for rural areas to address energy access challenges.
3.2. Imported electricity Liberia imports electricity from neighboring Côte d’Ivoire and Guinea through the West African Power Pool (WAPP) interconnection , which involved 650 km of 225 kV transmission lines , with a transit capacity of ≤290 MW – making it the largest source of imported electricity for the country in 2020.
Additionally, adopting off-grid and mini-grid solutions presents another opportunity for energy access in Liberia . Given the challenges of extending the central grid to remote areas, off-grid and mini-grid systems offer cost-effective alternatives. Some of the energy sources utilized in Liberia are summarized in Table 3. Table 3.
In addition, the government signed a Power Purchase Agreement with a solar energy company to provide the country ≥20 MW of electricity in 2020 . Despite these efforts, much work remains to be done to improve access to reliable and affordable energy in Liberia.
Formal electricity services are solely provided by the state-owned Liberia Electricity Corporation, which operates a small grid almost exclusively in the Greater Monrovia District. The vast majority of electric energy services is provided by small privately owned generators.
Liberia also has abundant biomass resources, with estimates suggesting that the government can produce up to 27,452 GWh of electricity from biomass annually . Expanding these resources can provide sustainable and decentralized energy solutions, particularly in rural and remote areas.
