reco is getting greener (and cheaper!)

"The implementation of a new gas-based power generation scheme by Roatan Electric Company (RECO) promotes the development of the Bay Islands and will lead to a better service and a more accessible energy costs for all the residents of Roatan," [Honduran] President Juan Hernández said today. "The investment, which exceeds $65 million (more than 1.495 billion lempiras) by RECO, is "a point in favor of the poorest because this new scheme will reduce their electricity bill between 15 and 20 percent," Hernandez said. "What we want here is for the Bay Islands to have the [infrastructure] conditions required by their well-earned reputation as a tourist destination in the world," he said, and then recognized the positive impact on the environment brought by the change to gas-fired electricity generation.
