AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Energy & Utilities: Belize Electricity Limited will keep electricity rates unchanged for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027, but bills may shift under a new Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA) cap of 1.5 cents/kWh monthly as BEL responds to changing power purchase costs. Energy Security: Belize is still buying about 40% of its power from Mexico’s CFE, and when CFE faces shortages in Quintana Roo, Belize triggers load shedding—prompting renewed calls for faster energy independence and coordination among government, IPPs, PUC and BEL. Public Works & Local Business: Tony’s BBQ is being ordered to relocate by mid-August to clear space for the Belcan Bridge replacement; the owners say they sought clarification after conflicting timelines, while MIDH says the road reserve must stay unobstructed for pedestrians, emergency access and construction operations. Transport & Logistics: Water taxi operators have formally requested a fare increase; Minister Michel Chebat confirmed the application is under review, with no approval yet. Tax Relief: The Belize Tax Service announced two GST-free back-to-school shopping days—Aug. 15 and Aug. 29—though the full list of qualifying items is still pending. Climate & Social Impact: A new UNICEF-backed Climate Landscape Analysis for Children Plus report maps how climate change, disasters and energy pressures affect Belizean children and other vulnerable groups, with recommendations aimed at cross-sector resilience. Tourism & Aviation: BermudAir plans to expand with 10 Airbus A220-300s, adding more Caribbean links including Belize in its winter 2026/27 schedule. Postal & Culture: Belize Postal Service launched the 2026–2030 “Celebrating Belize” definitive stamp collection, highlighting national identity, culture and events.
