Energy in Belize is based on four main sources: imported fossil fuels, biomass, hydro, and imported electricity. Belize currently imports 100% of its fossil fuel use (Launchpad Consulting, 2003).
Belize has invested in energy for the purpose of strengthening and stabilizing its energy sector over the last 20 years. The country has made investments in hydropower, biomass, solar, and liquified petroleum gas (LPG) to ensure energy security.
Belize uses solar power on a smaller scale, with the Government having installed solar micro-grids and solar-powered streetlights in rural communities not yet connected to the national grid. The Government of Belize, along with Belize Electricity Limited (BEL), intends to launch a pilot project introducing electric vehicles.
