By Zoila Palma: Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) has issued an emergency customer notice warning of potential load shedding today, Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
The tentative power disruptions come after Mexico’s Comisión Federal de Electricidad (CFE) notified BEL that high electricity demand on the Mexican grid may force them to curtail energy supply to Belize.
BEL stressed that because load shedding schedules depend on real-time energy demand and generation projections, the timetable remains tentative and subject to quick changes.
