The PERLA project in Guanaja, Honduras features 600 kWp of solar capacity, 576 kWh of battery storage, and a 3184 kVA thermal generation backup system. Completed within 10 months, this system was meticulously designed to address the challenges of a grid with unbalanced demand and limited access. When oceans, mountains, deserts, or other physical/economic barriers stand between customers and large electrical networks, GE Vernova's solutions offer a more consistent, reliable, cost-effective option for islanded grids and microgrids. Aeroderivative gas turbines boasting unsurpassed flexibility. Próspera, officially known as Próspera ZEDE, is a charter city on the island of Roatán, Honduras. It is one of three Zones for Employment and Economic Development (ZEDEs) in the country, operating under a distinct fiscal, legal and regulatory framework that grants it autonomy from the national. Hybrid renewable microgrids offer a promising solution, combining multiple clean energy sources with advanced storage technologies to provide reliable, sustainable power. This workshop focused on how to accelerate rural economic growth through increased access to reliable and affordable energy, such as microgrids.
