BEL's Connection To CFE Went Down
posted (October 3, 2014)
And if you're wondering what caused the extended power outage last night, BEL says that the connection with CFE in Mexico went down around 8:30. But don't blame the Mexicans - BEL says there was damage to a major structure on the transmission system in a remote area near Buena Vista, in the Corozal District. That system links Belize to CFE's power - and when it tripped, it caused the entire system to collapse.

BEL used standby generators to restore power supply.

Power supply was restored to the entire country between 10:25 p.m. and 12:20 a.m.
