UK Pushes Clean Energy Progress in Honduras
An official from the UK’s Department of Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) engaged with stakeholders in Honduras to advance energy transition.
Mitchell Lloyd, Senior Policy Advisor on International Energy Transition at DENZ visited Honduras 15-16 May. He met with the Secretary of Energy, other government departments, private sector and international financing institutions developing clean energy initiatives in Honduras.
The discussions included a series of topics ranging from the need to galvanize global and local leadership and foster international cooperation on a clean energy transition, to unlocking clean growth, job opportunities and build robust clean energy supply chains.
Honduras aims to achieve an 80% share of renewables in power generation by 2038. The country has high-quality solar potential for electricity production, and hydropower has historically been a significant contributor.
The visit supports the UK’s government mission to become a clean energy superpower, protecting households from unstable fossil fuel markets, including coal, while at the same time unlocking job opportunities at home and abroad for the clean energy sector.
