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...
With over 300 sunny days a year, solar energy holds immense potential. The expansion of rooftop solar, supported by net billing policies, could empower households and businesses to contribute to the grid. Jamaica's consistent trade winds offer an ongoing opportunity to expand wind farms, particularly in areas like Manchester and St. Elizabeth.
Investment in battery storage will help manage the intermittent nature of solar and wind, ensuring a reliable power supply. Innovations like floating solar and green hydrogen could further diversify Jamaica's energy mix in the coming decades. Public support and community engagement will be crucial.
The government set an ambitious target to generate 50% of its electricity from renewables by 2030—a goal that was updated in the 2019 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP). As of 2024, about 18% of Jamaica's electricity comes from renewables, primarily wind, solar, and hydroelectric sources.
