P.U.C. officially delays implementation of amendments

We reported last Wednesday that the P.U.C. was delaying the implementation of the amendments to its 2008 Final Decision… and today they issued an official release saying just that. According to the P.U.C., the delay is so as to undertake a public consultation and it is inviting interested persons to send in written comments. The deadline to do so is February fourth. The commission says that by the sixth it will make a decision as to whether it will confirm or make further changes to the amendment. Comments can be delivered to its headquarters at forty-one Lane in Belize City or by email to info at PUC dot BZ. When the Public Utilities Commission reduced the mean electricity rate by six cents earlier this month, Belize Electricity Limited was already challenging the June 2008 final decision in the courts.
