Analysis# Honduras Renewable Energy Consumption
Honduras derived 45.9% of its total energy from renewable sources in 2021, reflecting a significant decline from its 1991 peak of 70.2%. The country's renewable energy share has fallen 34.5 percentage points over three decades, positioning current consumption near the all-time low of 45.6% recorded in 2017. This downward trajectory reveals a fundamental shift in Honduras's energy portfolio away from renewable generation toward conventional fossil fuels.
The period from 2012 to 2016 showed relative stability, hovering between 49–53%, but deteriorated sharply after 2016. Honduras hit its lowest point in 2017 before recovering modestly to 50.2% in 2020. The subsequent decline to 45.9% in 2021 signals continued pressure on renewable capacity. Without intervention, Honduras appears to be settling into a lower renewable energy baseline, reversing decades of reliance on hydroelectric and other clean sources.
