Tonight, there is a fight over a 6 figure light bill between Belize Electricity Limited and one of its major customers.
George Hardie's Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, located in the Corozal Free Zone, has decided to go public with its dispute with the Electricity company. The hotel owners are disputing 328 thousand dollars in arrears which BEL says they owe for energy consumption over the past 15 months during which time they've been closed due to the COVID pandemic.
We've seen 2 emails which the management of the Hotel and Casino wrote, one to the minister of public utilities, and the other to the chairman of BEL's Board of Directors.
