The project development objective (PDO) is to demonstrate solutions that enhance the resilience of the energy system to adverse weather and climate change impacts. This will be collectively achieved by implementing a wide-ranging and complementary set of activities that include pilot initiatives, infrastructure hardening, and analytical and planning efforts. While most interventions will rely on proven technologies and established global experience, the project is demonstrative in nature due to its customized application to fit the specific conditions of Belize’s power sector, learning aspects, and the effort to integrate localized impacts of climate change.
