Honduras is also working on privatizing the energy services, which will allow venture capitalists to slip in with their new energy programs, with an emphasis on nuclear power.

🚨⚠️#ATENCION~ Father Ismael Moreno on the privatization of the energy service: "the more the elites and their corporate media vociferate that the ENEE will be state-owned, the faster they accelerate its privatization."

What the Honduras energy reform actually changes
The bill running through the Congreso Nacional is short on paper but heavy in consequence. It is an 18-article decree that rewrites a dozen provisions of the country’s main electricity law, first passed in 2013.

Its core move is what officials call an escisión, a splitting of the single utility into separate businesses for generation, transmission and distribution under one state-owned parent. The idea is not new in the region, and it echoes a reform Honduras wrote into law more than a decade ago but never carried out.

The point of separating the three functions is to let private money flow into one part of the chain without selling the whole. The government argues that the power grid in particular needs investment the treasury simply cannot provide.

By one congressman’s account, financing transmission lines from ENEE’s own balance sheet would take about 15 years, while opening that piece to outside capital could deliver the upgrades in two or three. Lawmakers have cited a need for well over US$130 million in grid infrastructure alone.

Why the Honduras energy reform is not privatization, officials insist
The most heated argument is over ownership. The opposition Libre party, which governed until January, rejects the plan outright as a backdoor sale of a national asset.

The Network State of Prospera (backed by Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen) is expanding at a rapid pace, now accelerating development on the Honduran mainland where they have a zone for nearshoring and manufacturing and will now build a datacenter.

Honduras Now: ZEDE Próspera announces that they are building an AI data center on main land Honduras on a piece of land called Puerto Satuye in La Ceiba.

ZEDEs are libertarian private cities that have been declared unconstitutional in Honduras.

Criterio HN :

ATTENTION~ ZEDE Próspera is building an Artificial Intelligence data center in Satuyé, La Ceiba, a project that raises concerns over its massive water consumption, its environmental impact, and the use of liquefied natural gas as an energy source.

While communities and ecosystems could be affected, criticism is growing over the support from Nasry Asfura's government for a model declared unconstitutional in Honduras.
