Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic PUC 47 technologies have the potential to provide the energy to satisfy total projected peak electricity demand by 2010. Hydroelectricity for example has the potential to produce an additional 35 MW of electricity per year over the next ten years and should be developed to add value to endangered watersheds. One of the principal purposes for developing hydroelectric plants should be to improve watershed protection that in turn allows for ecosystem protection, water production and renewable energy generation. If the environmental services of watersheds –water, biodiversity, energy, carbon sinks- cannot be valued by appropriate best practices, then it will be very unlikely that those ecosystems will be protected. Hydroelectricity in plant sizes less than 10 MW should be pursued as the solution to add value to any given watershed. In the broad context of sustainable national development, energy from hydro plants is a by-product. Cogeneration is the second most important resource; with the potential to generate an additional 25 MW per year over the next ten years. Belize Sugar Industries is currently capable of producing an excellent renewable energy product. However, it is plagued with its own challenges. Nurtured by the security of preferential markets in Europe and the United States for years, the sugar industry in Belize in 2003, is severely challenged by the restrictions of the global trading regime and has an extremely short window in which to make itself competitive in its market. Competitive positioning forces the issues of supply quantities and quality to the fore and these along with the remunerative issues associated with the BSI supply chain (small farmers) continues to plague the industry. The prognosis by all accounts in not good. Research and development to determine the feasibility of a high fiber sugar source can be one option for ensuring the viability of the industry150 and the use of an indigenous source for sustainable energy for the future. However cane production purely for the creation of electricity would likely increase the price of the electricity produced. Depending on the costs of production this could significantly influence the economics and dynamics of the sub-sector, as well as all other sectors underpinned by electricity as a cost of production. Wind resources are of world-class caliber in the Baldy Beacon eco-region. It is estimated at least 20 MW can be developed at the site over a ten year period, which has a minimum average per year wind speed of 7 m/s. Additionally the location is not forested nor does it possess human settlements. The development of a viable wind farm at Baldy Beacon will depend on data collection that is currently underway and on the hydro development along the Macal River. Once the Chalillo dam is completed, a high voltage transmission line will run close to Baldy Beacon making the project a highly competitive option. It is worthy of mention however, that Baldy Beacon is likely not the only suitable location for wind generation in the country. The location was chosen because there are already small turbines in operation there which provided access to reliable wind data. A wind mapping exercise should be considered as part of the National Energy Plan. Solar PV has the potential to provide 50,000 Wp in isolated off-grid applications, especially those related to early warning and disaster relief. Solar thermal is also highly recommended. Solar water heaters have the potential to develop a viable market in tourism related services. 150 loss of preferential access in all major markets expected by 2005.PDF Image | Energy for Sustainable Development Toward a National Energy Strategy for Belize Energy Sector Diagnostic
