Jamaica''s Future with Battery Energy Storage
Explore how battery energy storage systems are transforming Jamaica''s power sector—cutting energy costs, reducing outages, and enabling renewable energy growth.
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...
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.
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:
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.
