Belize is getting a 16 MW biomass plant in a recent PPA signed between S.S. Energy Ltd. (SSEL) and Belize Electricity Limited.
SSEL, a subsidiary of The Santander Sugar Group, will utilize bagasse, the bi-product of sugar cane, as a renewable power generation source. The energy produced by bagasse at The Santander Sugar Mill will be used as a primary fuel source to supply energy to the local consumer electricity grid.
S.S. Energy Ltd. states that it remains excited about their long-term growth prospects in Belize and see this announcement as a key milestone in their nearly six years of continuous investment in Belize’s economy.
