What happened
Belize Electricity Limited currently owes CFE close to $20 million, down from over $50 million owed at the beginning of the year, according to reports from 7newsbelize.com. CFE has not directly threatened service discontinuation, but the contract allows CFE to discontinue service if a demand for overdue payments is not met by a certain time. Discussions regarding these payment issues are ongoing at the political level, involving the Prime Minister and the President of Mexico.
