The deployment of a 10 MW Battery Energy Storage System will further strengthen the energy supply to the island, particularly during peak demand hours. The system will allow
Belize currently imports 100% of its fossil fuel use. Under the San Jose Pact, which Belize signed onto in 1988, Mexico and Venezuela signed a treaty obligating them to offer a concessionary credit from 20-25% of the purchase price of their oil exports. In 1991, both countries increased the oil supply offered under this agreement. However, fuel prices had jumped to a record high in 2008, over $10 per gallon.

The new Belize Energy Resilience and Sustainability Project will deploy state-of-the-art battery energy storage systems across four strategic locations in the country, marking
As of 2022, Belize produced roughly 217,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity, with 51.3% derived from biomass and waste, 26.4% from hydroelectricity, and only 18.7% from fossil fuels.
As we unveil the 2022 Belize Annual Energy Report, we extend our gratitude to all stakeholders who continue to propel Belize towards a sustainable energy future and to those who played a
