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.
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.
For the five-year target to 2025, Jamaica is targeting 320 megawatts of solar and wind, 120 megawatts of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and 74 megawatts of hydro waste energy and/or biomass,” he noted, adding that the country is well on its way to developing an electric mobility subsector.
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.
