Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy followed at 18.9%, with wind power at 12.9%, and geothermal energy at 5.8%. Due to the diversity of the Honduran landscape, the potential for wind development varies considerably.
Honduras has a large potential for solar photovoltaic generation. In fact, it is a practical solution for servicing energy-isolated rural communities. In 2007, there were about 5,000 individual Solar Home Systems, with an average size between 30 Wp and 50 Wp, which makes up for a total capacity of approximately 15 to 25 kW of power.
In 2022, Honduras' energy mix was dominated by oil, constituting 54.9% of the total energy supply, followed by biofuels and waste at 32.2%. Modern renewables like hydro, solar, and wind, excluding traditional biomass practices like burning wood or agricultural residues, accounted for 12.9%.
Honduras has a large potential for electricity generation from biomass, mainly from the sugar industry. Currently, there are nine biomass projects in operation, with a total of 81.75 MW installed capacity. These plants are estimated to supply 2.3 percent of the total demand of energy in Honduras for 2007.
