About

Bermuda Electric Light Company Limited is a Bermudian electricity-generating company. It is Bermuda's sole supplier of electricity, operating a generating plant, transmission and distribution systems throughout the territory. It is a subsidiary of Algonquin Power & Utilities, together with Bermuda Gas, PureNERGY Renewables, and inVenture Limited. BELCO's two generating stations are fueled by heavy fuel oil and diesel, all of which is imported. Oil is piped directly into the central electricity generating plant via a 9-mile-long, 6-inch-wide underground pipeline from the oil docks terminal. BELCO brought online a large solar installation at L.F. Wade International Airport in 2021 which, at 6 MW peak output, provides about 8.5% of the island's electricity.
