Belize Electricity Limited to conduct Urgent Maintenance Works; power outages likely today

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: The Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) issued a statement informing customers of urgent maintenance works, scheduled to take place today, Saturday March 23, 2024, at the Mollejon and Vaca Generation and Substation facilities in the Cayo district.

BEL noted that the works are necessary to ensure the reliability and efficiency of our power infrastructure as we prepare for the upcoming high demand season.

“With these facilities offline, our overall generation capacity will be tightly constrained. This means that the failure of any major generation unit will likely result in power interruptions, particularly during the afternoon peak hours,” BEL informed.

BEL says that it is making all efforts to maintain stable and reliable power supply to Customers and will immediately inform Customers if there are any further developments.

“Looking ahead, temperatures are projected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the next few days in most areas of the country, increasing the strain on our power resources,” BEL added.

Customers are advised to look out for advisory bulletins during this time and to assist by implementing energy conservation measures where possible, particularly during the early afternoon.

BEL thanks all Customers and the public who rely on their services for their understanding and cooperation as they continue to make every effort to deliver safe, reliable, and sustainable electricity services and energy solutions.
