Energy rationing in Honduras likely to cause business disruption and protests nationwide until September

On 6 August, the Honduran state electricity company ENEE (Empresa Nacional de Energía Eléctrica) started an official nationwide energy-rationing programme. According to the ENEE, service interruptions will occur for two hours around midday and two hours in the evening daily.
This is likely to be an attempt to address the blackouts of up to eight hours a day that have been occurring across the country during 2014.
The manager of the state firm, Emil Hawit, attributed the energy rationing to the lack of rain and high temperatures, which have diminished output from the Francisco Morazán hydroelectric power station but increased demand.
