This paper examines the key drivers and challenges influencing Jamaica''s energy transition, focusing on the unique circumstances encountered by Small Island Developing States (SIDS) like Jamaica.
Jamaica''s grid must be upgraded to handle a higher share of variable renewables. Modernizing the grid and adding storage solutions like batteries will be critical.
Jamaica like many other Caribbean nations over the last decade has invested heavily in solar Photovoltaics (PV) and wind energy. The variable nature of wind and solar power mandates
*On October 16, 2018, Jamaica''s Prime Minister Andrew Holness directed the government to increase the target to 50%. This document was developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory with
