Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic PUC 19 Figure 5 – Central American Consumption of Oil & Hydropower - 1980-2001 Imported petroleum comes primarily from Venezuela and Mexico under the terms of the San Jose Accord and the Caracas Energy Accord. CA consumes no natural gas and very little coal. According to the EIA, historically hydro power has dominated CA’s electricity sector. However, since opening up to foreign investors since the 1990s, the use of thermal generation has grown rapidly. As a share of regional electricity consumption, hydropower has fallen from 61% in 1980 to approximately 50% in 2001. Within the region, Guatemala is the largest oil producer28, with Panama establishing itself as the only other producer. In terms of production capacity, CA produces relatively small volumes of crude oil, most of which is either sent to the US for refining or consumed domestically. In 2002, oil consumption in the region totaled levels comparable to those of Chile and Hong Kong. In 2001, hydropower plants generated nearly 90% of Costa Rica’s electricity, although the country also generates using geothermal and wind energy. El Salvador is the region’s largest producer of geothermal energy which contributed 22% to the total electricity mix in 2002. Oil however remains the chief source of energy for the region. Pollution from cars, industry and power generation is a major problem in several CA countries. Refer to Annex 1 for table on Energy Consumption in C.A, 2001. 1.3 National Context General Profile Belize is located on the Central American mainland, forming part of the Yucatan Peninsula. It is bounded on the North by Mexico, South and West by Guatemala and East by the Caribbean Sea. The total land area is 22, 960 sq. km. or 8,8,67 sq. miles of which 95% is located on the mainland, and 5.0% is distributed among more than 1,060 islands. The mainland is distributed into six districts, which in turn are comprised of cities, towns and villages. Most of the Northern half and much of the Southern third of the country, plus the entire coastal area and all the islands are flat and low-lying29. . The country enjoys a sub-tropical climate which averages temperatures between 70 to 85 0 F. At the last population census (2000), the enumerated population stood at 240,20430. The population is a curious mixture of Mayan, Mestizo and other Spanish- speaking ethnic groups, English-speaking Creole, Garifuna and German speaking Mennonite. There is a direct correlation between pockets of ethnic concentration and 28 Produced 24,671 barrels per day in 2002. 29 First National Communications to the Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Government of Belize, UNDP Project BZE/98/G31/A/1/99, January 2000, pg. 1 30 although July 2002 estimates from the CIA Factbook suggests a population of 262,999PDF Image | Energy for Sustainable Development Toward a National Energy Strategy for Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic
