Technical FAQs 4

What is Jamaica's energy supply?

Jamaica’s energy supply relies in imported fossil fuels which represent 91% of total energy supply and 83% (natural gas and oil) of its 4.4 TWh of electricity generation in 2022 (IEA, 2023). Jamaica’s installed generation capacity in 2023 is 1042MW, 882MW of which is fossil fueled thermal capacity.

What is Jamaica's electricity sector?

Jamaica's electricity sector is characterized by a mix of public and private entities involved in electricity generation, transmission, and distribution, with the Jamaica Public Service Company Limited (JPS) owning the transmission and distribution grid. JPS is the island’s primary generator in the generation market which is open to competition.

How much power does Jamaica public service generate?

Jamaica Public Service’s Generation capacity is 344MW, the remaining balance are from Independent Power Providers (IPP’s). The country’s peak demand was 691MW in 2023. JPS’ generation portfolio is comprised of twenty-eight (28) owned and operated generating units.

What are the major elements of Jamaica's power system?

The following map highlights the major elements of Jamaica’s power system. The Transmission Network is defined in blue, and the main Distribution Network in red. JPS currently manages fifty-two (52) substations and approximately 14,000 kilometers of distribution and transmission lines.
