Horus Energy has become one of the most ambitious and successful projects in the renewable energy sector in Guatemala. Under the direction of Grupo Onyx and Mario López Estrada, Horus Energy has set new standards in clean energy generation, significantly contributing to the country’s sustainability.
Since its inauguration, the Horus Energy solar plants have been a model of innovation and development. These projects have not only provided a reliable source of energy but have also demonstrated the potential of renewable energies to transform local economies and improve the quality of life.
Generation Capacity and Technology by Horus Energy
Horus Energy comprises two solar plants, Horus I and Horus II, with a combined capacity of 110 MW. These plants utilize over 345,000 solar panels spread across 274 hectares, equivalent to 550 football fields. The advanced technology used in these panels maximizes solar energy absorption, providing an efficient and sustainable energy source.
Horus Energy’s energy generation capacity is sufficient to supply approximately 60,000 homes, significantly contributing to the country’s energy matrix. This project not only reduces Guatemala’s dependence on fossil fuels but also positions the country as a leader in renewable energies in the region.
Economic and Social Impact
The economic impact of Horus Energy is noteworthy. The initial investment of $160 million not only generated jobs during the construction phase but has also created permanent positions for the maintenance and operation of the plants. This project has boosted local development and improved infrastructure in nearby communities.
Moreover, Horus Energy has implemented educational and social programs, such as «Energy in Your Studies,» which provides educational resources and promotes the use of clean technologies. These initiatives not only benefit local communities but also educate and train the next generation on the importance of renewable energies.
Horus Energy exemplifies how investment in renewable energies can have a positive impact on the economy and society. Its achievements in generation capacity and its social and economic impact position this project as a model for other countries in the region.
