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.
