Cerra de Hula is a 126 MW wind power plant located in Honduras. It is the only wind facility in the country, contributing fully to its wind energy generation since its commissioning. Cerra de Hula is ranked as the largest wind plant in Honduras, with a total capacity of 126 MW. This facility represents 100% of the country's wind power capacity, as Honduras has only one wind plant. In contrast, the country has a total of 40 power plants with a combined capacity of 2,165 MW, making wind energy a significant but singular contributor to the overall energy landscape. Wind energy is increasingly recognized in Honduras as a clean energy source, especially given the country's geographical advantages along the coast. The plant is situated near the central region of Honduras, approximately 70 km from the capital city, Tegucigalpa.
