Electricity rates won’t go up

The Public Utilities Commission made its Final Decision in respect of the 2019 Annual Review Proceeding for electricity rates and the news is that rates will remain the same at forty one cents per kilowatt hour for July first 2019 to June thirtieth 2020. Despite the high cost of power, Belize Electricity Limited decided not to pass it on to consumers. Earlier this year, the utility company did not recommend any increase to the currently approved Mean Electricity Rate. And while the P.U.C. approved a slight nudge up, it won’t show on your monthly bills.
