Abstract
Honduras is a country in Central America with a population of 7.1 million people and a demand of 1175 MW. The electrical energy demand has increased considerably in the last 5 years due to the country´s social-economical growth. The use of alternate energy sources using renewable resources has become of great importance due to the fossil fuel dependency for the electrical energy generation. Among the renewable energies, the geothermal energy could supply up to 76 MW in the next five years.
