The specific objective aims at supporting the implementation of the Belize Growth and Sustainable Development Strategy (GSDS) and the Sustainable Energy Roadmap. 

The expected results focus on three (3) areas:

  1.  Provide electricity to villages that currently do not have electricity and support public facilities such as parks, schools and clinics in these communities to be more secure and user friendly.

  2.  Create an environment for energy efficient products in the Belizean market via standards and label of such equipment, demonstrate the benefits of energy efficiency which should see a reduction in the initial and operating cost for all Belizeans.
  3. Support the renewable energy industry via comprehensive studies of all available types that should create a more investor friendly environment that will support the electricity sector and strengthen energy security in the country.
