We've reported extensively on the power problems on Caye Caulker. Well, island residents will be getting another blackout, but this one for a good cause.
BEL says that its new 1,705 kilowatt generator from Panama, arrived in the country on Sunday.
It will be ferried to the island by Friday, February 7th and will be installed as part of the island's electricity infrastructure within a week.
To do this, however, islanders will have to prepare for a 4-hour power outage to commission the unit. BEL says that customers will be informed of the date and time in advance.
They assure that with the addition of this unit, their electricity generation capacity will increase so that they can reliably meet the peak power demands of Caye Caulker.
