Belize is known as an eco-friendly tourism destination with abundant natural resources and the potential for a variety of sustainable energy projects.  Over the last 20 years, Belize has explored more local energy resources to strengthen and stabilize its energy sector.  Investments in hydropower and more recently in biomass have opened up the opportunities for greater energy independence.   Today, about 35% of the country’s total enegy supply is generated from indigenous renewable sources.  Nonetheless energy costs remain high and untapped opportunities in solar, bio- fuels and waste to energy are becoming more attractive.
