2.4 Renewable Energy Technologies and LPG use 2.4.1 Renewable Energy Technologies There are very few companies dealing in renewable energy technologies (RETs) in Belize. Solar energy systems are extremely small and a modest number of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels were deployed under the auspices of several international initiatives. For example, a solar PV project was deployed in the remote rural community of San Benito Poite village in southern Belize. The project sponsored the installation of one 100- watt solar panel power system and its ancillary equipment in every home. Solar water heaters are found in some areas only as the result of small pilot projects. Deployment of RETs for sustainable development faces various challenges, specifically the establishment of suitable institutional frameworks, the leveling of the playing field between grid-connected and off-grid electrification, the lack of awareness about RETs and poor technical support. Many of the traditional financing institutions dealing with Belize’s rural poor who were interviewed for this report have very little or no knowledge of RET programs. 2.4.1.1 Solar Energy Not much work has been done in this field. However, solar PV could be an economically viable option, particularly considering the future in crude oil prices. Belize’s average solar radiation in an optimal tilt angle is roughly estimated at 2,000-3,000 kWh/m2 per year. Taking into consideration the cost of deploying current technologies, solar generation would cost between 0.20 and 0.50 US$/kWh. This cost could drop to 0.10 US$/kWh by 2020. In addition to households, large scale solar PV systems could contribute significantly to power the industrial sector. Solar PV home systems typically consist of one 40 to 60 Watts-peak (Wp) module and one battery, which are highly cost-effective considering Belize’s climate and solar radiation values. National legislation does not contemplate tax incentives for the generation of electricity by means of photovoltaic systems. 2.4.1.2 Wind energy Estimate mean wind velocity at 80 meters above ground is approximately 7 to 8m/s. Assuming an average velocity of 6 m/s, electricity generation costs are calculated at 0.05 to 0.10 US$/kWh for off-grid systems. Some studies suggest that Belize’s potential for wind power is some 20 MW. However, no comprehensive study on wind generation capacity has been conducted nationwide. The Baldy Beacon area shows considerable potential for wind power generation. 21PDF Image | ENERGY POLICY ASSESMENT OF THE ENERGY SECTOR IN BELIZE
