Electricity Limited (BEL) signed a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with CFE Calificados, an affiliate company of Mexico's Comisi�n Federal de Electricidad (CFE). This agreement allows BEL to purchase more power from Mexico when prices are low. According to BEL's CEO, Jeffrey Locke, one major improvement resulting from this new PPA is that BEL, in partnership with its local suppliers, can now trade energy in the Mexican market.

"With this new agreement it will give us a new opportunity to sell excess energy when we have to Mexico that would low to have more sales of energy across our lines which would then reduce our unit cost. So by reducing our unit cost it gives opportunity in the future to be able to give customers more competitive prices. We will now be invited, allowed to compete in the Mexican market so when we are inviting suppliers for Belize, we could invite them to say it's not only Belize you have the opportunity to supply they also have to opportunity to supply in the Mexican market so why is it they are able to provide reliable electricity at a competitive price then it's not only the Belizean market there taking a look at as an opportunity the Mexican market as well."
