The Government of Belize through the Ministry of Public Utilities, Energy, Logistics and E-Governance (MPUELE) with financial support via the UAE-Caribbean Renewable Energy Fund (UAE-CREF) inaugurated a Solar Pv Hybrid System in the village of Indian Creek, Toledo District.
The system will supply reliable electricity to homes, schools, clinics and water pumping facilities within the villages of Indian Creek, Golden Stream, and Medina Bank. It comprises 400 kilowatts of solar panels and 600 kilowatt hours of battery storage. Its primary source of power will be solar energy, supplemented by a backup diesel generator to ensure continuous operation during the wet season.
The Ministry expresses its gratitude to the United Arab Emirates for their valuable contribution to the energy transition in Belize; and to the Ministry of Rural Transformation, Belize Electricity Limited, and the villages of Indian Creek, Golden Stream, and Medina Bank for their collaborative efforts in promoting sustainable development within the country.
