Press release issued May 2, 2024
BEL Experiences Temporary Generation Shortages due to Curtailment of Supply from CFE
Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) hereby informs our Customers and the public that we have received communication from Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) in Mexico regarding challenges they are facing in sustaining the energy supply to our network. CFE advised that effective 10:00 a.m. on May 2, 2024, they are curtailing energy supply to Belize for 13 hours. In response to this development, CFE has requested that BEL utilizes its local generation resources to meet the national demand.
As a result, BEL is preparing to address the impact of this interruption. Starting at 10:00 a.m. this morning, load shedding will become necessary for various sections of the country to effectively manage the available energy supply. Areas likely to be impacted in the first instance include portions of Orange Walk. In the early afternoon, load shedding is expected to impact portions of Corozal, San Ignacio, Dangriga and Independence.
Load shedding is a controlled process of temporarily reducing electricity consumption across different areas to ensure the stability and continuous operation of the national electricity grid.

As we had earlier informed Customers, our gas turbine at Westlake on the George Price Highway, which is one of our major backup power sources, is being upgraded and is currently out of service. This generating unit is scheduled to be brought back online early next week. We are also installing a gas turbine in San Pedro which should be completed before the end of May. These will add 30 MW of additional generation capacity to the grid. Together, these additional generation sources will put us in a much better position to meet demand if supply from CFE is curtailed, especially during the high demand months of May through July.
We thank our Customers for their patience and understanding and assure our Customers that we are making every effort to maintain safe, reliable, and sustainable energy supply to all service areas countrywide.

Youth Empowerment Alliance in Action!

God is so good. I started off my week telling my dad that I would like to assist 2 families with groceries but I don't have the funds at the moment. To my surprise, we received a donation of grocery bags from an anonymous international donor.

Thank you Lord 🙏

Today we handed 16 grocery bags over to deserving families in Santa Elena Town.
It was a bitter sweet moment as we saw the pain and sorrow of our elders who live with chronic diseases. Nevertheless, our small act of kindness made them happy.

I thank Manuel Gonzalez for joining us today as we prayed for each and every recipient. May God bless them abundantly.
Next week, we will finish up with our list of families to receive grocery assistance.
Together, the youths can bring true change to our community 💯
Please be sociable and share the positivity!

Adrian Palma, President of the Youth Empowerment Alliance:

Entrepreneurship Build-up Project 🌟

Today, I handed over a banner to Miss Blanka, the owner of the Boulevard Tropical Juice on the Loma Luz Boulevard in Santa Elena Town.

Miss Blanka is a mother of three and sells a variety of natural juice to residents from the twin towns.
I came up with this initiative because I believe that we need to unite as a town and help those who have ambition to add value to the economy and our community.
As a community, we need to start taking care of each other and support our Entrepreneurs 🙏
My message to you all: when you support an entrepreneur, you support a family to have food on the table, you support the children to get an opportunity to go to school and you create an environment where the community can prosper. As a son and brother of hardworking entrepreneurs, I have lived and experienced the blessing created from those who support my family's businesses❤️
May God bless all our dedicated entrepreneurs out there working hard to make Belize a better place 🇧🇿
