As of 2019, 58.6% of electrical production was renewable, making Belize the number one renewable energy producer (by percentage produced) in the Caribbean. The Government of Belize is the largest shareholder in BEL, with direct ownership of 32.6% interest in the Company. The Social Security Board owns 31.2% interest in the Company, so that the public sector interest amounts to 63.8%. Fortis Cayman Inc. owns 33.3%, and over 1,500 small shareholders own the remaining 2.9% interest in ordinary shares. (en)
