BEL Advises of Power System Performance Related to the Approaching Hurricane Richard

Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) advises that in the event there is loss of power supply due to damages caused by Hurricane Richard, the Company will dispatch work crews to the field as soon as it is safe to do so. If weather conditions are such that it would make it unsafe for work crews, works will be delayed until conditions improve.

If there are significant damages to the power system, customers are advised to be prepared for power outages up to 48 hours in duration. Customers are also asked to call BEL at 0-800-235-2273 or 0-800-BEL-CARE to report any damages to power lines.
