By Zoila Palma: Belize and Mexico are strengthening bilateral cooperation in the electricity sector following a high-level working meeting held on November 10, 2026, to discuss energy planning, infrastructure needs and technical collaboration.
Representatives of Mexico’s Federal Electricity Commission (CFE), the Ministry of Energy (SENER), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) and CFE Calificados met with officials from the Ministry of National Security, Energy and Ports (MNSEP) and Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) to explore ways to improve coordination and exchange technical information between the two countries.
The meeting resulted in an agreement to establish three working groups aimed at strengthening institutional coordination, gathering technical information to assess energy planning alternatives and following up on matters of mutual interest.
CFE Director General Emilia Esther Calleja Alor emphasized the importance of maintaining close coordination between Mexican and Belizean authorities to identify infrastructure requirements and assess the current and future conditions of both countries’ electricity systems. She also outlined CFE’s progress in strengthening electricity infrastructure on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula through generation and transmission projects designed to meet increasing demand and improve electricity supply in southeastern Mexico.
Mexico’s Undersecretary for Electricity, José Antonio Rojas Nieto, highlighted the importance of obtaining information on Belize’s energy needs and future projections to establish a technical foundation for evaluating different planning scenarios. He noted that the information would support stronger cooperation and help both countries identify opportunities to improve their electricity systems.
Minister of National Security, Energy and Ports Michel Chebat, also highlighted the importance of maintaining dialogue with Mexican authorities and expanding the exchange of technical expertise and experience, particularly in electricity planning and the development of photovoltaic generation projects.
Both countries reaffirmed their commitment to continued dialogue and technical cooperation to strengthen energy planning and institutional capacity across the region. The establishment of the three working groups is expected to provide a framework for continued engagement, allowing Belize and Mexico to assess infrastructure requirements, explore planning options and address shared interests in the electricity sector.
