Puerto Cortes power station (Central Eléctrica Puerto Cortes) is a proposed 300- to 350-megawatt (MW) gas-fired power station in Cortés department, Honduras. There has been no news about the project since 2019, so it is presumed to be shelved.

- Parent company: Cortés Gas Natural (CGN)[1]
- Location: Puerto Cortes, Cortés, Honduras
- Coordinates: 15.8260, -87.9296 (approximate)[2]
- Gross generating capacity (proposed): 350 MW
Background
The natural-gas fired Puerto Cortés power station was originally proposed in 2019 - along with the Mexico-Northern Central America Gas Pipeline - as part of a United Nations regional energy development plan for southern Mexico and Central America.[2][3][4] In December 2019 the Honduran government signed a memorandum of understanding with the company CGN (Cortés Gas Natural) for development of the 350 MW power plant.[5]
However, the UN's August 2021 development plan for the region mentions only the gas pipeline project, not the power plant[6], and as of November 2021 there have been no other news reports about the Puerto Cortés power station for more than two years, so it is presumed to be shelved.
