Honduran President Nasry Asfura sanctioned the Ley de Justicia Energética to restructure the national electricity sector. The reform mandates the reorganization of the Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE) into a parent company with three state-owned subsidiaries focused on generation, transmission, and distribution. This structure aims to improve efficiency and attract investment while maintaining 100% state ownership to prevent privatization.

Key provisions of the law include a six-month freeze on electricity tariffs, which the National Congress may extend for another six months. To assist low-income residents, the legislation offers debt amnesty for users consuming up to 250 kWh per month, a measure expected to benefit roughly 500,000 people. 

Following the law’s publication in the official gazette, La Gaceta, the government established an Inter-institutional Follow-up Committee comprising the Presidency, the Ministry of Energy, ENEE, the Energy Regulatory Commission (CREE), and the Ministry of Finance. Implementation steps include plans for a 600-megawatt tender early next year to lower long-term generation costs and decrease dependence on diesel-powered plants.
