Jose Moreno, General Manager, Transmission and Energy Supply - BEL
"Early this morning, we had a fault on our transmission line between Chan -Chen. Chan -Chen, or the Jose Espat substation, as it was recently named, is a new substation that we commissioned last year. And that supplies service to the Corozal service center."

"Yeah, so we had a fault between that substation and Belcogen, right At the time that this happened, we had Mexico supplying us at maximum capacity, right And therefore, we had limited resources in country to be able to match the demand of the system that stayed in place, and therefore, the system collapsed."

"So the fault that we had on the transmission line early this morning is something that I had never seen before. We had fire on a cross arm, right, on the transmission, on a transmission structure, right."

"So this is most likely can be attributed to forest fires. You know, you get a little amber up there, you have a lot of breeze, and the thing starts to burn, right. So that is what we are up against."

The latest notice says there will be two 5 minute planned interruptions tomorrow morning in Orange Walk.
