Dennis Minott | A cleaner energy future for Jamaica
At the heart of this model lies the potential for Jamaica to build a network of 10 to 12 interconnected green mini-grids. These mini-grids, powered by renewable sources such as solar, wind, biomass, and energy storage, could be designed to operate independently or in conjunction with a national grid.

Jamaica has an ambitious target of 20 per cent renewable and 42 per cent natural gas by 2030. And the target continues to be revised upwards to 50 per cent renewables by 2037. For these objectives to be realised, Jamaica needs to see major investments from the renewable sector.
Jamaica''s energy future: Why Portmore should go solar
Nuclear power might seem like a quick fix for Jamaica''s energy issues, but it comes with long-term challenges we''re not equipped to handle. Meanwhile, renewable energy options like waste-to-energy, solar, wind, and biomass are safer, more sustainable, and better suited to our island''s unique strengths.

Converting sunlight into electricity can be achieved using photovoltaic (PV) systems. Given Jamaica''s close proximity to the equator, we get higher solar insolation. Solar irradiance averages 5 kWh/m2/day over the year in Jamaica. This gives us ample opportunity to generate electric power from PV systems
