The first LNG cargo has arrived in Honduras under Centrica Energy's long-term sale and purchase agreement (SPA) with Exodus, marking the operational start of a project that will support the country's energy transition and strengthen energy security across the region.
The cargo represents the first delivery under the agreement signed in November 2025, under which Centrica Energy will supply approximately six LNG cargoes per year. LNG deliveries will be made through a ship-to-ship operation into the FSU Bilbao Knutsen in Puerto Cortes, creating the foundation for Honduras' first-ever natural gas imports for power generation.
The LNG will supply the Brassavola combined cycle power plant, which currently operates with a capacity of 150 MW and is being expanded to 240 MW through the construction of a combined cycle facility. The project marks an important milestone in diversifying Honduras' energy mix and reducing reliance on more carbon-intensive fuels.
Once fully operational, the FSU will serve as the backbone of LNG storage infrastructure for a new terminal currently under development on Honduras' Caribbean coast. Together, the facilities are expected to improve energy security, enhance generation efficiency, and support industrial development in the country.
Beyond Honduras, the project is also significant for the wider Central American region. It demonstrates how access to global LNG markets can help countries strengthen energy resilience while supporting economic growth and the integration of cleaner and more efficient energy sources.
“By leveraging our global reach and operational expertise, we're proud to support Exodus and Honduras on its journey toward a more sustainable and resilient energy future,” said Arturo Gallego, CEO, Centrica Energy Trading A/S.
