National Electric Power Company (ENEE), Public Relations representative, Sandra Poncese said a transformer in northern Honduras shorted out, which caused the blackout.

Some areas of San Pedro Sula have regained electricity, but different municipalities of the country continue to experience a blackout. It is estimated that it will take approximately two hours before service could be restored completely.

The Island of Utila had a dip in power at that time, but electricity was immediately restored.
