Energy in Belize

In 1991, both countries increased the oil supply offered under this agreement (Belize – Mining and Energy Industry, 1992).

In 2003, the Public Utilities Commission implemented a one-year project entitled Formulation for a National Energy Plan for Belize.

[3] The Ministry of Energy, Science & Technology, and Public Utilities was founded following recommendations from the framework.

The Belize and Nicaragua Logs Recovery project aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prevent deforestation by salvaging mahogany and other logs in the Belize and Nicaragua Rivers (Legace and Legault International Inc., 2007).

Also, in compliance with the United Nations’ program REDD, Reduction of Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation, a national workshop performing with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Forest Department of Belize are coordinating efforts to forest management and reduction of deforestation (Protecting Belize and other Central American Countries – Reducing Emissions: REDD, 2010).
