Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic PUC 34 • Purchased power from CFE Mexico at 115 kV. BEL has in place a contract for the supply of up to 25 MW of firm capacity from CFE Mexico. The XULHA substation, which supplies Belize and also supplies the area of Chetumal, is connected to the major CFE generating stations in the Merida area (Central Quintana Roo 350 km away) by a 230 kV line and a 115 kV line. In 2002 CFE accounted for roughly 13% of BEL’s unplanned outages. • The Mollejon Plant, is a 25 MW run of river hydroelectric plant. The plant is located on the Macal river and has installed three 8.4 MW turbines. Generation capability of this plant varies with the hydrologic season as the water storage is very small (the storage can support 25 MW for approximately 11 hours) and only provides daily regulation. BEL classifications of the hydrologic seasons are in two periods, namely the dry season (February to June of each year) and the wet season (July to January). Historical hydrologic records indicate that if the plant is used only for peaking of BEL ́s system the minimum available water flow can support a peaking capacity of 6.5 MW during the dry season and 10 MW during the wet season. BEL uses the plant in different modes dependent on the season, in the dry season it is used for peaking and emergency backup, while in the wet season it is used as a base load plant. • The diesel plants owned and operated by BEL are partially a legacy of BEB106. These consist of 19.8 MW of installed capacity with units varying in size from 0.5 to 3.5 MW. Two plants, namely the Belize and Belmopan Power Plants, have an installed total of 9 base load medium speed units with an available capacity of 13.8 MW, and in addition BEL has five 1.2 MW high speed containerized mobile units which are located at the Belize City Plant, the Belmopan Plant and the old San Pedro Plant site. BEL also maintains four diesel plants in Caye Caulker (0.675MW total available capacity), four in Independence (approx 1.25 MW total capacity) and five in Punta Gorda (3MW total capacity). BEL is allowed to import the diesel it requires to run its generators direct from Mexico. In 2002, BEL used 3,744,039 gallons of diesel for generation of which it imported 2,656,858. The balance was secured from local sources. Even though BEL’s diesel generation network would benefit significantly from upgrades and new purchases, in accordance with its policy to encourage competition in generation, the PUC has allowed BEL to invest in one diesel powered gas turbine generator for emergency and peak loads only. The Mollejon Hydroelectric Plant In the electricity sub-sector Belize has enjoyed a twelve (12)-year history with renewable energies. In April of 1991, GOB granted a franchise to International Energy Equities, Inc (IEEI) and the Dominion Energy, Inc. (DEI) to build operate and transfer107 (BOT), a 25MW run of the river hydroelectric plant and a 115 kV transmission line to the Belize City and Ladyville load center. BEB entered into a power purchase agreement with the same companies for a forty (40) year term which provided for the purchase of 120 GWh per year from the hydro plant at the rate of US $0.0875/ kWh plus an operations and maintenance fee of 5% of revenues received for hydro-energy sold.108 106 Belize Electricity Board; the government owned utility prior to privatisation 107 In 2036 108 BEL ProspectusPDF Image | Energy for Sustainable Development Toward a National Energy Strategy for Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic
