Honduras Enterprise Energy Storage Battery

In November 2024, Honduras made waves with its 75MW/300MWh battery storage tender – the energy equivalent of building a 4-hour power bank for 75,000 Honduran households [1]. Fast forward to March 2025, and China's Windey (运达股份) teamed up with Spain's Equinsa to clinch the $50.2 million contract [2]. [pdf]
