Italy is investing USD 31 million in the Nacaome Region of Honduras, which will result in a new hydropower plant, the José Cecilio del Valle power plant. Along with the power plant, the project will include irrigation.

According to the Italian spokesperson in Honduras, efforts are now under way to organize the project, communicate it to the local communities and to government entities. There was no mention of the amount of capacity to be installed at the new hydropower plant, but judging from the investment amount, the plant will be a small to medium sized facility.
