It was delivered for a budget close to US$100 million and Isolux Corsan claims it will generate around 109 million kWh of electricity annually, offsetting the emission of around 40,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

The project was supported by private investors based both in Honduras and in Mexico, German development agency DEG, World Bank Group member International Finance Corporation and a Mexico-based bank, Bancomext. It was developed by Mexican firm Gauss.

Honduran government-owned power company ENEE will purchase the electricity via a local substation, through a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA)-type structure.
