Jamaica Mobile Energy Storage Container 1MWh

How can battery energy storage help Jamaica?

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.

Are microgrids the future of energy in Jamaica?

Microgrids reduce diesel fuel dependency, extend energy access, and promote community-level energy independence. These modular systems can scale with demand and offer a sustainable alternative to costly grid expansion. Battery energy storage systems are no longer optional—they are essential to Jamaica’s clean energy future.

What is a 1MWh Battery Energy Storage System?

A 1MWh Battery Energy Storage System, such as PKNERGY's 20ft container solution, stores energy equivalent to 1 megawatt-hour. It includes 5 clusters connected to a 500kVA power conversion system (PCS) for output at 340-440VAC. The system also includes a 500kW three-phase inverter with a 98.3% conversion efficiency and a 300kW inverter for DC to AC conversion.
