Overview
Honduras's electricity access stood at 97.78% in 2025, a rise of +2.18pp from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 97.78% by 2025. Honduras ranked 150th globally.
Honduras’ share of the population with access to electricity rose from 54.78 % in 1991 to 97.78 % in 2025, marking a 43.00‑percentage‑point increase over 34 years and placing the country at rank 150 globally. The 2025 figure represents both the latest measurement and the all‑time peak, surpassing the 1991 trough by more than 40 percentage points and closing the gap with regional peers such as Panama (97.66 %) and the Philippines (97.92 %). The sustained expansion reflects extensive grid extensions, rural electrification programmes and private‑sector investment in generation capacity, particularly in renewable sources that have lowered connection costs. Despite the high coverage, marginal households in remote areas remain without service, suggesting that further progress will depend on targeted off‑grid solutions and continued policy support to sustain the upward trajectory.
