On February 01, 2024, the National Congress of Honduras, through Legislative Decree number 61-2023 published in the Official Gazette La Gaceta under number 36,449, approved and granted significant assistance to alleviate the financial burden of companies and citizens who owe payments to the National Electric Power Company [Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (ENEE)]. This benefit is the Amnesty for fines, surcharges, and interests, as well as outstanding accessory obligations with the ENEE owed until December 1, 2023.
According to the decree, both natural and legal persons can avail themselves of this amnesty, as long as they make the corresponding payment for electricity consumption without the application of surcharges or interests. This benefit will be available until June 31, 2024, thus providing a six-month period for debtors to regularize their situation.
