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:
Int J Environ Sci Nat Res. 2024; 34 (2): 556385. DOI: 10.19080/IJESNR.2024.34.556385 Jamaica has set an ambitious aim of generating 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, reflecting its commitment to sustainable energy and climate resilience.
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.
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...
