A specialized team from Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) has embarked on a mission to Jamaica to aid in the restoration of power infrastructure devastated by Hurricane Melissa. The Category 5 hurricane struck Jamaica on October 28, 2025, unleashing winds surpassing 180 miles per hour and causing extensive damage to homes, businesses, and critical utilities, particularly in the central and western parishes. The BEL crew, led by Line Supervisor Tyrone Reynolds, includes skilled Power Line Technicians Kareem Lopez, Perr Tillett, Ethan Alvarado, Bladimir Alvarez, Adolfo Oliva, and Kendale August. They will collaborate with other regional teams under the Caribbean Electric Utility Services Corporation (CARILEC) to expedite the recovery process. BEL CEO John Mencias emphasized the company’s commitment, stating, ‘We stand in solidarity with our Jamaican brothers and sisters by joining our thoughts and prayers with our actions.’ This initiative underscores the regional cooperation and resilience in the face of natural disasters.
