Jamaica Energy Storage Power Station Project

In a groundbreaking development for Jamaica’s renewable energy landscape, a joint initiative between LASCO, The University of the West Indies (UWI), and the USAID has culminated in the completion of a pioneering solar and battery storage pilot project at the company’s White Marl plant in St Catherine. It has put out tenders seeking engineering and construction proposals for three plants: a 115 MW solar PV plant; a 171.5 MW BESS, or battery energy storage system; and a …

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.

Does JPs have a solar project?

JPS, the state-owned utility company, recently announced the auction for various solar, battery, and wind projects. The projects include a 115 MW solar plant, multiple battery energy storage systems (1 to 50 MW each, totalling 171.5 MWh), and a 12 MW onshore wind facility.

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.

When will JPS build a solar PV plant?

By December 2024, the JPS will choose an engineering firm to build the plants. That firm will oversee the construction activity until 2027. The solar PV plant is slated to start construction in 2025 to 2026, while the BESS and wind projects are start in 2025 to 2027.

Why did Jamaica's fuel prices spike in 2022?

The remix is expected to cut into the country’s fuel import bill, which rose to US$2.38 billion in 2022, up from US$1.54 billion the previous year, according to the Economic and Social Survey Jamaica report produced by the Planning Institute of Jamaica. The price spikes were linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine and related sanctions.
