Campus Universidad Zamorano, Honduras – 22 de mayo de 2025

Today, two important cooperation agreements were signed between key institutions for Honduras' development. The National Electric Power Company (ENEE) and Zamorano University signed a Memorandum of Understanding, while the National Investment Council (CNI) and Zamorano signed a Collaboration Agreement. Both aim to strengthen the country’s technical, educational, and productive capacities.

Durante el evento, se contó con la participación del secretario de Estado en el Despacho de Energía y gerente general de la ENEE, Dr. Erick Tejada, el secretario ejecutivo del CNI, Sr. Miguel Medina, y el rector de la Universidad Zamorano, Sergio Rodríguez Royo, quienes ofrecieron palabras de bienvenida destacando la trascendencia de estas alianzas interinstitucionales.

El Memorando de Entendimiento entre ENEE y Zamorano establece una colaboración estratégica entre ENEE y Zamorano con el fin de viabilizar la implementación del proyecto Energy for Education, una planta solar fotovoltaica de 14.5 MWp cuya venta de energía generaría ingresos destinados a un fondo de becas para estudiantes hondureños de escasos recursos.

Por su parte, el Convenio entre el CNI y Zamorano busca fomentar la inversión en la agroindustria, el intercambio técnico y académico, la organización de eventos conjuntos, y la identificación de proyectos que promuevan la innovación, el comercio y la cooperación en áreas clave para el desarrollo del país.

Esto reafirma el compromiso de las instituciones participantes con un futuro más sostenible, competitivo e inclusivo para Honduras
