On February 14, 2023, Total Eren finalized and signed the new terms of the 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) concluded between the Honduran national electricity company ENEE (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica), and the wind project company “San Marcos Wind Energy”. It will allow ENEE to benefit from the lowest tariff for the sale of electricity from renewable sources in the country.

 

Construction and reinforcement of electrical networks

Under the agreement, San Marcos Wind Energy will be responsible for reinforcing the country’s electrical transmission network by building approximately 95 km of 230 kV transmission line from the department of Choluteca to the department of Francisco Morazán, constructing a new 230 kV substation and carrying out work on existing substations.

 

A sustainable electricity supply for Hondurans

With a total capacity of 112 MW, this project will eventually produce approximately 500 GWh per year, enough to supply 460,000 people in Honduras while saving 390,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year. Fabienne Demol, Executive Vice President and Director of Global Development said: “We are delighted to have signed this contract which will provide Hondurans with a sustainable source of energy at an affordable price.

 

A step towards Central America

Martin Rocher, Vice President of the Americas activities at Total Eren said: “The San Marcos project is a great step forward for the Honduran people as it brings an uninterrupted source of energy supply”. This project “will contribute to change the energy supply model towards more renewable sources while improving the resilience of the power grid to natural disasters”.
