The project & its place
Impact Energy, S.A. is developing a 2.5 MW solar + 10 MWh battery storage project in Patuca, Olancho — delivering clean power during peak evening hours, backed by 10+ years of proven renewable energy operations in the same community.
A Honduran clean energy startup founded to develop Solar+Storage projects with measurable social and environmental impact — built on a decade of proven operations in the field.
Impact Energy, S.A. was founded to bring next-generation Solar+Storage technology to the communities that need it most in Honduras. Our flagship project, EcoPatuca, is a 2.5 MW solar farm paired with 10 MWh of battery storage, ENEE-authorized for grid interconnection to the CHI-L362 circuit at 34.5 kV in Patuca, Olancho.
Our founding team previously developed, financed, built, and has been successfully operating a run-of-river hydropower plant in Patuca since 2015 through Ecoenergia, S.A. — demonstrating 10+ years of capacity to deliver renewable energy infrastructure in Honduras, including ENEE grid connection and deep community integration.
Our family has been operating since 1965 the farm where the Ecopatuca projects are located.
A father-and-son founding team combining deep local expertise, a decade of proven operations, and fresh business leadership — uniquely positioned to execute this project.
A grid-connected solar farm with battery backup designed to supply clean power to the CHI-L362 circuit during peak evening hours (6–10 PM), authorized by the ENEE in January 2026.
4,238 TOPCon N-Type modules at 590 Wp each. Performance ratio 82.5%.
LFP chemistry, 4-hour dispatch, delivering power 6–10 PM nightly at peak hours.
~2,622 MWh delivered nightly via battery during highest-value peak hours.
TOPCon 2026 technology. GHI 1,759.7 kWh/m²/yr. Lat 14.4°N, Lon 85.9°W.
CAPEX USD 5.76M. Payback 7.2 years. NPV USD 1.24M at 25-year life.
ENEE-authorized interconnection to circuit CHI-L362, Subestación Chichicaste.
1 MW run-of-river hydropower plant, built and operating in Patuca. Proven ENEE grid connection, community relationships and 10 years of operational data that underpin our credibility with regulators, communities and investors.
2.5 MW solar + 10 MWh battery storage. ENEE interconnection approved (Oficio SUPID-019-I-2026, January 2026). Full feasibility study complete. Now seeking equity partners, impact investors, accelerators and grants to execute construction.
Electricity sales revenues fund environmental education, watershed restoration and carbon sequestration across the 635 km² Patuca watershed — creating a self-sustaining model replicable across rural Latin America.
~2,600 tonnes CO₂ avoided per year, replacing fossil-fuel peaker generation during evening peak hours on the CHI-L362 circuit, Olancho.
Battery dispatch reduces peak-hour strain on Chichicaste substation. Reactive compensation of 0.65 MVAR per ENEE technical requirements.
Construction and long-term O&M create skilled jobs in Patuca — a municipality of 28,307 with high youth unemployment and HDI below national average.
Stage 3 uses energy revenues to fund reforestation, environmental education and carbon sequestration across the 635 km² Patuca watershed.
The 10 MWh BESS ensures reliable electricity during 6–10 PM — when families and small businesses need it most but the grid is most stressed.
A solar+hydro+storage+community development model designed to be replicated in similar rural municipalities across Central America and beyond.
We are actively seeking partners across multiple channels to bring EcoPatuca to life. Whether you are an impact investor, grant-making institution, accelerator, or strategic partner — there is a role for you.
Seeking equity or quasi-equity partners aligned with clean energy, rural development and ESG. IRR 14.8%, payback 7.2 years, 25-year project life with proven team.
Open to repayable grants, blended finance and concessional loans from climate funds.
Technology suppliers (TOPCon panels, BESS), EPC contractors, and regional energy developers with interest in Honduras.
ENEE-authorized project, complete feasibility study, proven 10-year operational track record in the same community, and a replicable impact model ready to scale.
Reach out whether you are an investor, accelerator, grant provider, technology partner, or simply curious. We respond to every serious inquiry.
