Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) is the primary distributor of electricity in Belize, Central America. The Company served a customer base of 116,983 accounts, sold 723.2 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of energy, and met peak power demand of 132.3 megawatts (MW) in 2025.

BEL owns and operates Belize's National Electricity Grid which includes approximately 2,000 miles of transmission and primary distribution lines. Additionally, the Company owns 55 MW of installed generation capacity used primarily for backup supply. The national electricity grid is supplied from multiple energy sources including hydro, biomass, solar, and fossil fuels. Since 1998, the National Electricity Grid has been interconnected with Mexico's national electricity grid, which provided 55 MW of capacity and associated energy as well as grid support. All major service areas are connected to the national electricity grid except for the island community of Caye Caulker, which is isolated and, hence, supplied independently by BEL.

The Government of Belize (GOB) has direct ownership of 65.882% interest in the Company, whilst the Social Security Board (SSB) owns 31.27% resulting in public sector interest of 97.155%., while over 1,500 small shareholders own the remaining 2.85% interest in ordinary shares
