The Honduran Association of Electric Power Producers (AHPEE) announced the appointment of Angie Yip as its new executive director, a position she assumed on September 28, 2026, with the goal of contributing to the institutional strengthening and development of the country's electricity generation sector.
The new director is an energy engineer with experience in developing photovoltaic solar energy projects and marketing electricity in El Salvador. Her background includes areas related to electricity markets, regulation, project management, and commercial and institutional relations.
The appointment comes amid a debate on the modernization of the Honduran electricity system, where private sector participation, investment conditions and market operation occupy a relevant place on the energy agenda.
In this context, AHPEE plays a representative role for electricity generators before the main bodies in the sector. The organization participates in the Board of Directors of the System Operator (ODS) and in the Market Agents Committee, forums linked to the functioning and operation of the national electricity market.
The association emphasized that Yip's experience and leadership will contribute to strengthening the institution and developing the Honduran energy industry.

Honduras launches its electricity reform and prepares new tenders for 1600 MW
The arrival of Angie Yip to the executive directorship of AHPEE coincides with a new stage for the Honduran electricity sector, marked by the entry into force of the Energy Justice Law and the expectations of new tenders to expand the country's generation capacity.
The reform, officially published on September 30, 2026, contemplates the reorganization of the National Electric Energy Company (ENEE) by separating the activities of generation, transmission and distribution, in addition to establishing competitive contracting mechanisms and promoting new investments in the system.
Meanwhile, the market remains focused on two bidding processes that could mobilize up to 1,600 MW of new capacity, as previously reported by Energía Estratégica. These calls for bids represent an opportunity to expand the participation of renewable technologies and address Honduras's electricity supply needs.
ENEE also confirmed that it is working on preparing short- and long-term energy procurement tenders, with the aim of diversifying the energy mix and obtaining more competitive prices.
In this scenario, the new leadership of AHPEE will have as its key context the implementation of the reform, the evolution of the tenders and the regulatory conditions for private investment, in a market that seeks to incorporate new capacity and strengthen the security of the electricity supply.
