It should be noted that electricity from hydro, wind, and solar, that is, dynamic sources, is considered primary, whereas electricity converted from any pre-existing fuel, particularly combustibles, is considere a secondary energy source. Belize’s secondary energy supply added up to 11,470 TJ in 2
in electricity production.In addition to renewables, Belize also employs non-renewable energy sources comprising diesel, fuel oil, and crude oil, with shares of 2%, 1 9%, and 2.3%, respectively. Diesel demonstrated a minimal increase of 0.4%, while fuel oil and crude oil decreased in share over the 202
