FAQs 6

Will JPS build a solar power plant in Jamaica?

Power utility Jamaica Public Service Company, JPS, is investing US$300 million to construct Jamaica’s largest solar power plant and a battery storage facility, starting this month. The renewable energy facility will replace JPS’s aged Hunts Bay...

How can battery energy storage help Jamaica?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS) are now emerging as a cornerstone technology to address these challenges—helping Jamaica stabilize its grid, unlock more renewable energy, and reduce electricity costs for both consumers and businesses. The country’s electricity cost can reach as high as $0.32 per kilowatt-hour, far above global averages.

Why is energy storage important in Jamaica?

Jamaica is committed to reducing its dependence on imported fossil fuels. The country’s National Energy Policy sets an ambitious target: 50% of electricity from renewable sources by 2037. Energy storage plays a critical role in achieving this target. Key policy support includes:

Can JPS distribute electricity in Jamaica?

While Jamaica has several firms that generate electricity, only JPS can distribute the power, due to its exclusive licence with the Jamaican government as operator of the national grid.

Are microgrids the future of energy in Jamaica?

Microgrids reduce diesel fuel dependency, extend energy access, and promote community-level energy independence. These modular systems can scale with demand and offer a sustainable alternative to costly grid expansion. Battery energy storage systems are no longer optional—they are essential to Jamaica’s clean energy future.

Why is Jamaica resetting its renewables target?

Jamaica’s energy grid is now dominated by liquefied natural gas and oil. The prices of those fossils have spiked since the onset of the pandemic. And within that time, the Jamaican government reset its renewables target from 30 per cent to 50 per cent.
