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 energy services companies improve energy use in Jamaica?There are huge opportunities for increasing the efficiency of electricity use in Jamaica, particularly using an Energy Services Company (ESCO) framework. ESCOs are Energy Services Companies who bundle a number of energy services to form an energy saving project.
Who owns Jamaica's energy grid?Jamaica’s energy grid comprises 789MW of capacity, 80 per cent of which is owned by the JPS. The utility purchases 168MW from independent power producers that are contracted to supply electricity to the national grid, JPS said last month in tender documents to suppliers.
Will JPS produce more energy than Paradise Park?Sign up for The Gleaner’s morning and evening newsletters. On its own, the proposed JPS solar plant aims to produce 2.5 times more energy than Paradise Park, which is currently the largest solar facility in Jamaica at 50MW capacity. Westmoreland-based Paradise Park was acquired by InterEnergy Group from Eight Rivers Energy Company, last month.
Does JPs have a battery storage facility?JPS owns the largest battery storage facility which generates up to 24.5MW of electricity. It cost the utility US$27 million to install in Hunts Bay in 2019. Storage facilities help stabilise the power fluctuations from renewable energy sources like solar and wi
